Kiss of the Highlander offered Drustan MacKeltar’s story, and precedes The Dark Highlander which features Drustan’s identical twin, Dageus. If you didn’t read any of the previous books, you are going to be at a loss as to half the stuff that goes on in this latest escapade. The Dark Highlander is fifth in a series devoted to the MacKeltars, a family of time-traveling, magical Scotsmen doing battle with evil Druids from centuries past. A few more pages, and I’d be hitching up the trailer and moving to F-ville. Then, the obscure and puzzling resolution brought it down another half-grade. Even so, I was willing to go with a C- for the most part – until I hit the first love scene. Whatever success this author attained in terms of decent imagery or interesting detail was lost on a hero and heroine who had me gritting my teeth in irritation by the middle of the book. Och, lass, I have more problems than praise for The Dark Highlander in fact, I have virtually no praise at all. 6/20/2023 0 Comments The saxon storiesÆthelstan had given Uhtred his oath to never fight him or invade his native Northumbria while Uhtred lived.įor many years, Æthelstan kept his word, but having gained control of the Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and East Anglia, the only thing standing in the way of fulfilling Alfred the Great's dream of uniting all of the Ænglisc-speaking peoples under one monarch is a Northumbria ruled by a weak king named Guthfrith. Many years before, Uhtred had taught the young Æthelstan, a grandson of King Alfred the Great, how to be a king and, by winning a crucial battle, placed him on the throne of Wessex. However, inexorable fate has other ideas. The aged Uhtred wants nothing more than to end his days in peace in his beloved Bebbanburg and pass it on to his second son, also named Uhtred. Uhtred of Bebbanburg plays a crucial role in the battle that will decide if Alfred the Great's dream of England comes to pass or not. It was published on 15 October 2020 in the UK.

It also got banned from at least one public library, ostensibly because of the book’s nudity but perhaps really because it wasn’t considered the sort of book that kids should be wrapping their head around on their own. Solidly within this tradition is Craig Thompson’s autobiographical novel Blankets, which propelled him to stardom in the comics world and won him just about every award that a graphic novel can get. This trend started in 1978 with Will Eisner’s A Contract with God and has only continued through the works of such artists as Chris Ware ( Jimmy Corrigan, Rusty Brown ), Kristen Radtke ( Imagine Wanting Only This, Seek You ), and Alison Bechdel ( Fun Home). Once a genre devoted to bombastic action and over-the-top unbelievability, comics-um, excuse me, graphic novels -have now pivoted to being the ideal platform for tales of personal reflection, loneliness, and isolation. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. Despite doubts about her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches and is bedazzled by their powers-and, to her dismay, by Blake-the school’s notorious bad-boy. Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. When Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches.
