Hello Mr Cornwell,

 

As I’m french would you excuse my not so good english.

 

I just finished to read the last book on Arthur (and Derfel) this morning at 2am !

Even if I have a test this morning (which I succeed, don’t worry).

I wasn’t able to let the book on table and go to sleep : the story is full of suspense, well written, and the characters are so alive.

 

So first thank you for this well documented and so close to reality story. I finaly found an Arthur saga which isn’t a tale but an historical fiction as close as possible to real events and the uses of this age.

 

Second, I was first disappointed by the end : what’s next ???!!!

But after reading different comments and questions on your website (and your answers of course), I’ve made my own idea which can suit to this abrupt final. I think that as the threat is closer and closer to the monastery when Derfel is writing, the saxon or irish finaly attack and Igraine was just able to catch the last pages before running away. That’s why the strory ends so brutally. In the same move than all the saga : bloodly battles !

 

Thank you again for these books, and continue to make us dream.

Bastien
