The Endless Knot

Book Three in The Song of Albion Trilogy

De: Stephen Lawhead

Narrado por: Robert Whitfield

Book three in an epic historical fantasy series that blurs the lines between this world and the Otherworld.

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.

Long but ended well

Layers of faith and extra meaning are woven into the story which continues and concludes the trilogy about a sometimes breathtakingly beautiful and sometimes horrifyingly harsh world that reflects our own. A bittersweet ending that is mostly everything it should be though not altogether satisfying. My biggest complaint (for the whole trilogy) is that I didn’t find the hero entirely likable. But I didn’t dislike him either.

Trigger warning: animals die brutally in all 3 books, but it seems worse in this one. While not graphic, it’s mostly a matter of grim practicality and survival, an attempt at gritty realism that I don’t personally think is necessary.

engrossing saga

Great saga. very believable, and clean resolution. Each book is great in a trilogy format, and this, the final chapter, lives up to the promise of good fantasy.

Wonderful story

Raw, wholesome, gritty . Real humans interacting with life conflict. Love overcomes. Evil weakens. Light is greater than dark.

A Ulysses journey

How is a land redeemed by a King? What is lost for that redemption? What lies lay wait to undermine that unintentioned quest?

The story line circling around to timeless Truth

Story was rich and unique in description!
It took me a few chapters to switch to the viewpoint of Llew speaking instead of Tegid.

Great story!

The narrator is not very good compared to the other two books! Too bad the same narrator could not have done all three books.

Favorite book series

Amazing book and series. The beautiful detailed descriptions makes one appreciate the beauty in everyday life. Narrator can't voice a woman.

great story

the reader is different than the 1st two books. it is hard to transition. otherwise, this is a great book.

Love the legendary feel of the story!

Celtic stories are a woven mix of high ideals and epic tales! Stephen R Lawhead is the best author in this genre. He weaves the classic tales into type & shadows of the Swift Sure Hand I know as Jesus. I learn more about Him every time I hear or read them!

Great story, some weird narration

Beautiful story, Lawhead is masterful and does not disappoint in his well told stories. The narrator on this does decent on some things, but some of his accents that he tries are so painful to hear. Pronunciations change from the last narrator to this one and takes some getting used to, but the worst is the women. It's like if someone learned a Scottish accent while living in India, then got drunk and hit on the head. It's truly painful to listen to, and shows that subtler narrators are as always, the best.
