Book Log 2006 #53: Heretic by Bernard Cornwell

The final book in the Grail trilogy, and I have to say it was disappointing. I didn't buy into the new female character that was introduced (too forced), and I was able to sort out how the quest was going to end pretty early into things (though the ultimate resolution fit the overall story).

I'm a little concerned about the final book in the Alfred the Great trilogy going the same route. I'll apparently be able to find out in January 2007.
