Relation To Books Uther (Arthur the Son #2)
With Uther, Jack Whyte, author of the richly praised Camulod Chronicles, has given us a portrait of Uther Pendragon, Merlyn's shadow--his boyhood companion and closest friend. And the man who would sire the King of the Britons. From the trials of boyhood to the new cloak of adult responsibility, we see Uther with fresh eyes. He will travel the length of the land, have adventures, and, through fate or tragedy, fall in love with the one woman he must not have. Uther is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything that has been available to readers before.List Books Concering Uther (Arthur the Son #2)

I loved the way that the characters throughout the series portrayed the historical reality. I learned so much about the Romans and the early history of Great Britain. What a treat to walk the same path but in the mind of a different character of the time. I will never think of a meteor in the same way. What a talented author to create a possible world that would explain the how and why of that time.very enjoyable read. I did read this book prior to book #6, Metamorphosis, but I don't see a problem due to the time line covered in this book already covered earlier. This book being from Uther's perspective, and all other books from Publius Varrus and Merlyn's perspectives. Very interesting how this volume gives us insight into Uther's motivations, and ultimate downfall. Highly recommended.
This is my review for English class.I really loved this book. i really did. It puts you in the body of Uther, father of King Arthur, and explains his life, which you don't see much of in the past books of this series. It also ties a few loose ends in ways you would never imagine. The author, Jack Whyte, is an amazing man. His whole style of writing, being so descriptive that he makes Meat on a piece of bread dipped in broth sound like a royal luncheon, leaves me awe inspired and has affected my
Uther is an in-depth historical fiction that provides a new (very Roman) take on the myths of Uther Pendragon and the birth of his son, Arthur. Whyte's take on the beginning of the Arthurian legends has a very Roman feel, focusing heavily on battles, army training and military tactics of Uther Pendragon and his cousin, Merlyn. The story begins with Uther's birth, and carries through until just after the birth of his son, Arthur. Some characters are well known (Uther, Merlyn, Ygraine, Lot), but
Favorite QuotesI knew even then, the first time that I saw you, that I loved you.I suspect that much of life is like that. We seldom see what is closest to our eyes.A man is a fool to live in hopes of a better tomorrow. I have a thousand, better ways today to spend what time remains ahead of me, and I have brighter, lighter and more pleasant places in which to spend it.She knew exactly how he was feeling, because experience had taught her that the kind of excitement she was feeling at that
So...Arthurian novels are a dime a dozen. I loved this whole series for its historical setting for the plausible ways in which Merlin and Arthur come to be without diminishing the other classic renderings.
By far the best book I have read in a long time. I suggest reading a Dream of Eagles series and the Golden Eagle series before reading Uther. I think it makes more of an impact that way and you end up feeling for Uther. The other series does not depict him in a good light, but reading Uther afterwards you start to understand his character and intentions.
