Guinevere: The Legend in Autumn

I really enjoyed this series. My only complaint about this specific book was that it seemed that it took longer that it should have, it kind of dragged a bit in the middle. There could have been a bit more advancement in the story (and been a bit shorter) without detracting from the depth of the story. Overall, the series was very well done with a great feel of what life would have been like during that time. The slowdown in the middle of this one would take my rating down half a star to 3-1/2, but it wasn't enough to take it down to 3, so I'll leave it with 4, as I rated the other two.

This is the 3rd book in the Trilogy, and am about half way thru reading, and while I'm finding that the first 2 were a bit better, I think it's partly because - as with most Trilogies, the author tries to 'catch-up' on the story line for those who have not read the entire series.This trilogy is an interesting twist on the Arthur Ledgends, and an easy read, being narrated by Gwen, and seen from her view. Not so compelling that you can't put it down, but probably more true to life for this time period than all the glamour that has been attached to the Ledgends by other writers and movies over the ages.

It was a bit disturbing to me that the round table crew seems to be pretty much at Camelot while they are young and still trying to find out what they will be when they grow up.This was quite different from the tales that see Gwen as holding up Arthur's side. Here she is the center of the story. Her mixed emotions about Lancelot and Arthur, her changing from disliking and fearing marriage with Arthur and her growing love for him - and for Lancelot - make a good story. Taking three books to tell the story was a bit much, but I stayed with it easily.

Well written, entertaining, funny, and heartbreaking. Has transcription errors which I suspect are from scanning the paper text and not uploading a digital copy.

Like the rest of the trilogy, I loved Guinevere. She became a real person rather than the harlot I imagined from children's stories. Unlike the previous two books, "The Legend in Autumn," has me turning the pages very quickly to see what her fate would be! Unfortunately, if I even began to describe why, well... *spoiler alert*! So I won't. Just read it and find out, but definitely read the series in order!

I enjoyed this story because it made the legend of the Round Table real and showed the story from Guinevere's point of view. It showed how things could have been at that time and how people may have made the story magical. I read the Trilogy from the first book through to the third and enjoyed the entire 3 part story. Of course, I like stories of strong women.

I liked this book but have to admit that it was somewhat tough going toward the end. Perhaps it lost some of its appeal because I read the three books one after another and didn't really give myself enough time to really enjoy the third one as much as the first and second. It certainly gives the reader a new take on the whole Guinevere legend.

This is the final book in a trilogy and it picked up nicely where the earlier books left off. This book was the third in a trilogy about the legand of King Arthur and followed Guninevere's story to a nice conclusion (if you can call it that). The author told Guinevere's story using a modern perspective and did a nice job reconciling the Author v. Lancelot story. She presented Mordred's rebellion in a understandable way and knit the legand together in several ways. For any one interested King Arthur this is a must read.

This third book in the trilogy I had to obtain from America but was well worth the effort. Having read the first two I had no choice in the matter. This trilogy is addictive and was recommended to me by Sharon Penman, an extremely talented author with impeccable taste. I never for a moment expected to be disappointed, and the trilogy I would say exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it, as I have done with Sharon's books, to anyone interested in forming a picture of what life must have been like in the period in which it is set.

Having read the first two books in the series a few years ago I expected to enjoy this but found it a little disappointing. The characters seemed less 3d and the end rushed.
