A review by chromatick
The Eagles' Brood by Jack Whyte
5.0
This series continues to hold up to the way I remember it from 30 years ago.
Book three begins with the new generation coming of age and beginning to take on their destined roles in the community of Camulod. Merlyn and Uther are cousins and best friends and their adulthood will shape everything to come.
Once again, Whyte breathes life into a Medieval Britain in which King Arthur could have actually came to be. The book moves along at a good pace, there is plenty of action, and it's so fun to see the seeds being planted for King Arthur's eventual rise.
There are a couple of really awkward and unnecessary sex scenes, although one does further one of the main plot lines.
All in all, I'm really enjoying this re-read of the series.
