The author's best work, a well crafted celtic trilogy. Should you impose your standards on another's way of life. What happens when your world overlaps theirs? Shame about the ending.

A wonderful retelling of a Celtic Myth, placing a modern-day person into the position of a mythological hero. Very good read. I do not however, understand where the "Christian Fiction" tag that some are using comes from.

Awesome book! Loved this trilogy.

Otherwise known as "Everything Is Terrible." God, this is a dull, depressing end to an otherwise entertaining series. People are happy for approximately five minutes, then shit catches fire. After that, it's one long slog through boring, gray territory being menaced by various monsters and never
Well, not exactly, but close enough. It solves the central problem of how to get Lewis out of the place he doesn't belong, and the section where he watches his own funeral is unintentionally funny, but then we get to the final "reveal" that, immediately after equating Lewis with Christ, implies that he is, in fact, Stephen R. Lawhead. I'm sorry, man, you didn't earn that.
Honestly I'd read the first two of this series and skip this one. It adds nothing of interest and is a terrible mess besides.

Fires rage in Albion: strange, hidden fires, dark-flamed, invisible to the eye. Llew Silver Hand is High King of Albion, but now the Brazen Man has defied his sovereignty and Llew must journey to the Foul Land to redeem his greatest treasure. The last battle begins, and the myths, passions, and heroism of an ancient people come to life as Llew faces his greatest test yet. The ancient Celts admitted no separation between this world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. The Endless Knot crosses the thin places between this work and that, as Lewis Gillies begins his ultimate quest, striking the final resounding chord in the Song of Albion.
