I love Stephen Lawhead! I just finished the silver hand for the second time. His books are absolutely amazing. I have read a few other of his books and they're all very good but the Song of Albion is by far my favorite. Simon is awesome (love to hate him) Lawhead does a great job of changing his characters but never realy losing their original personality

Indeed, I think Simon is one of the best bad guys in memory...I was profoundly shocked by the ending.

Quite good, I must say.
I happened to pick them up last summer while visiting the relatives. I spent a couple days reading through them and was very impressed. Lawhead is certainly an excellent author, and some of the plot developments struck me out of the blue- such as

I read all three a long time ago, and I don't remember them very well. One thing I do remember is I never liked Simon, even in the first book. How can you like him Hector? He's terrible and evil, and almost destroys Albion!

I thought Simon's ranting and raving in the first one was really funny.

The character development of Lewis is really interesting and well-done.
