After finishing reading all of the Last Kingdom books, having been introduced to Uhtred through the first BBC series, I felt bereft so went on to read all of the Sharpe novels. I’ve so much enjoyed “living” these books. I have even got two questions correct when watching University Challenge because of what I knew of history from them! Now I have just finished the Arthur trilogy, (which I was not sure about before I started, having read so many good versions of stories about him), and now I think it is the best version I’ve ever read, ever. I really like Derfel and how you, very believably, changed the usual perception of Lancelot. To my mind, you resolved the “eternal triangle” between him, Arthur and Guinevere very satisfactorily. I like all the personal touches you put into your books, about the relationships I suppose, such as Arthur smiling when he notices that Guinevere has fought with her long bow, alongside him. I have now got the Harlequin book to read – although I am so tempted to go back and re-read all the Last Kingdom books, now that the second series is on television. Really I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your storytelling and wish you well. Thank you!
