However, this is not a simple re-telling, Kenneally-Morrison, as she now is, has built a totally new universe in which to set the tale, built upon old Celtic and Druidic foundations and as deep and complex as anything I have read since first reading "Dune" over 45 years ago. She weaves into this underlying fabric many of the different strands of the legends but alters them to fit into her grand design. The language fits the story beautifully, almost Tolkienesque at times.
I looked back and saw that I had only given the previous book 3 stars some nineteen months ago, but as I read this one, I recalled so much of the earlier book that I think I will need to revise my previous score.
Having read the first 100 pages I hastened to the computer to find the next one. It has arrived and I will read it soon. I am really looking forward to it.
