Reply To: Book Club Thread: The Winter King – Part 1 **SPOILERS**

[torros 23841xp 1]

First read it when first published in the UK and myself and the wife loved it so much we bought all 3 books on audio cassette as well

Although nominally book about Arthur and the continued invasion of Britain by the Saxons  at its heart its really a book about the slow Christian take over of Britain. Many of the characters like Derfel and Nimue were in the original Arthur stories but were later replaced by Lancelot, Gallahad and a few others

For those who have read both there is certainly a few similarities between the Characters in this book and the first couple of books of the Last Kingdom
