The Last Pendragon The Last Pendragon Saga Book 1 eBook Sarah Woodbury
Being a long time fan of everything related to the King Arthur legend, I was anxious to read this story, which promised to be about the "heir to the throne of Arthur". I was very pleased to see that this was more than just a retelling of the old King Arthur stories and instead featured a whole new set of characters. The two primary characters are Cade, the grandson of the legendary Arthur, and Rhiann, a woman who would love him, even if the fates would not allow it.One of the most interesting aspects of this book for me was the way the author alternated each chapter from the perspectives of these two star-crossed lovers. It was something completely different to be allowed to get so deep into the thoughts of the two main characters, even as they related to one another. The author did an excellent job of giving each of them their own, unique voice and made it easy for the reader to relate to the different emotions that each experienced.
Of course, there were a number of other characters in this story as well, and the author did a great job of weaving them into the story along with Cade and Rhiann. There were different chapters where each of these two primary characters interacted with the same supporting players at different times, and it helped to give this reader a more well-rounded view of the supporting characters, certainly more so than usual in most books.
Naturally, this tale would not be complete without a sizeable portion of magic, demons, and swordplay. "The Last Pendragon" delivered nicely on all counts. I would have liked to have seen perhaps a little more magic from the wizard, but the little he did was instrumental to the story. I thought his character overall could have used a little more development, but the rest were very well done.
Perhaps the biggest drawback of the book was the difficulty in pronouncing some of the names and locations. While the book does contain a guide, I'm not certain that most readers would bother with it. By the time I got to the third or fourth chapter, I quite trying to figure out the proper pronunciation and just satisfied myself with acknowledging who or what the author was speaking about, and from then on I never gave it a second thought.
I would give this book 4.5 stars out of 5, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is fond of historical fiction or fantasy novels.

The Last Pendragon The Last Pendragon Saga Book 1 eBook Sarah Woodbury Reviews
Sarah Woodbury weaves a tale of Myth and Magic in "The Last Pendragon A Story of Dark Age Wales." The author brings together the Arthurian and Welsh myths, while adding her own style to this story. As a lover of historical fiction and fantasy genres, I quickly found myself immersed into the story that contains a bit of both. We see Cade the last of the Pendragon line trying to take hold of his destiny as King. The theme is non traditional and sets it self apart from most Arthurian legends and stories.
The plot is well written and moves at a pleasant pace, while bringing together a core group of characters. With the threat of the sidhe, demons, hell hounds and the Welsh Gods who try and control the outcome at every turn, the characters are tested. I found myself getting caught up in the feelings of brotherhood, loyalty, friendship and the longing of love, all while facing the knowledge that they might not make it in the end. I could not put this book down and read every chance I had, even losing sleep to finish the story.
The amount of historical research that went into this book was evident throughout the story. The author's knowledge of life during dark age Wales and the history of Wales gave believability to this story. I found myself once again on the Isle of Anglesey, seeing it from a different perspective all while reliving my own journey through the rugged country side of Wales.
All in all this was a great story to read. I felt my love for the Arthurian era come alive again. I would recommend this book for anyone who would like to venture out of the norm when it comes to the tales of King Arthur and his descendants. I for one am looking forward to reading the next two books in the series. This book is worthy of 4.5 Stars!
The Last Pendragon A Story of Dark Age Wales
I am worried that they will all be this short. Even though it is well written, I can't justify buying 8 short books . Too bad, good storru.
Wonderful story of the Pendragon family. Full of action, intrigue, and a bit of romance. Loved it! An enjoyable read after a hectic day. Grab a cop of coffee , and relaxing chair , and be prepared to be sent to the Wales of Ole.
