Hi Bernard I wrote to you recently regarding ‘Winter King’, an excellent novel in the Warlord Chronicles trilogy, & mentioned I would write again. I am almost finished this and eager to start ‘Enemy of God’. Just wanted to mention what I think were a couple of highlights… Arthur’s mistress ‘Aileann’ understood him better than most and described his soul as a chariot drawn by 2 powerful horses, one was ambition and the other conscience… a moving analogy – one that I feel would apply to a lot of leaders past & present who had difficulty achieving their goals. Also the moment where Derfel confesses his love for Caenwyn was very well conceived and a powerful and memorable sequence. The character of Nimue is a complex masterpiece, a slight yet resolute girl able to influence all around her. Merlin, as we would expect, appears & disappears but his presence is always felt from a distance. Thank you for the best in Arthurology. Cheers…..Darryl
