false <![CDATA[Grail (The Pendragon Cycle, Book 5)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1236014852m/405586.jpg 405586 10 This installment of Stephen Lawhead's long-running Pendragon series is narrated by Gwalchavad (Galahad), one of King Arthur's captains and Lord of Orcady. After getting off to a slow start as the aftermath of a war with the Vandali is sorted out, the story focuses on the Holy Grail, which its guardian, Avallach, has used to cure Arthur of a deadly wound. In gratitude, Arthur raises a shrine to the Grail, but soon the Grail is stolen by Llenlleawg (Lancelot), who also abducts Queen Gwenhwyvar. When Arthur and his knights pursue, they are led to the magical, bleak land of Llyonesse, into the sorceress Morgian's power, fighting for their sanity and the Grail. <p> This is a straightforward story; there's less intrigue than I expected. Evil Morgian's passages of gloating are nearly over the top, but the honest, steadfast knights are good fellows all.

Actually, I am reading the last book again. I feel that I need some sort of closure to wrap up the whole series.

I didn't really think about Gwalchavad much in the previous books, but he makes a very good narrator to this tale.
