It has been a while since I read a book that I just couldn’t put down and The Order of Ascalon is definitely a page-turner. I really enjoyed the way the author put his own spin on the Arthurian legend. Even in the book’s slower moments, the story kept my attention. It wasn’t just a good idea for a story, but it’s well written and well done.
If you are looking for an interesting new series of books to read, I highly suggest you check out The Order of Ascalon.

I really enjoy most things to do with Merlin and King Aurthur and was really pleased to come across this book by Daniel Franks. It is very original and adds an exciting new dimensions to the existing legends. A really well thought out plot and lots of interesting characters kept me turning over the pages and very little got done at the weekend!

A really enjoyable story that kept me intrigued all the way through. I liked the different characters from history that are introduced, I thought that was a clever touch and I can see The Order Of Ascalon becoming a popular series.
