So have just finished the Arthur trilogy. Derfel was an adopted Saxon with the Brits, Sharpe an orphan and Uhtred brought up by others – a similarity. Derfel reminds me of Uhted – I found it heard to believe he was the old monk that wrote the tale was the ex-ruler of Dumonia but I suppose I am not that old that I can see a diminishing character. Sansum reminded me of the priest we first meet in Last Kingdom from Cornwall – Assa?? It has been a year or so…..anyhow brilliant series. Loved Nimue, Morgan and Mordred as characters – very different. Now off to read Stonehenge. Thank you once again for hundred of hours of fun.
