General
[edit]There are a number of small things that should be corrected e.g. Duggan is described as a British, not English author, dating conventions now use BCE (Before Christian Era) and CE (Christian era) rather than AD but the first section is not a good summary of the plot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinvp11 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
Arthurian connection
[edit]While relevant to an article on Arthur, I don't see why it needs a section in a review of the novel, particularly since Arthur is a minor character while his predecessor Ambrosius is far more prominent but also one of the very few people the narrator actually admires.

Suggested rewrite of Historical Context and Arthurian sections
[edit]Now I've looked at these in more detail, I'd like to redo them. Some points I've included in the plot review could be moved into the historical section and while I agree this book is one of the few to contain Saxon views on Artos (Arthur) he is a relatively minor player in the novel. Certainly not prominent enough to merit a separate section and if you read this hoping it's part of the Arthurian legend (like Sutcliffe's Sword at Sunset), you'd be disappointed.
