The Copper Crown

From the moment I picked up the first book in the Keltiad, I was swept away into Kennealy-Morrison's vivid and imaginative world. The seamless blend of science and magic, coupled with a historically believable view of the Keltic civilization had me craving more even after finishing all three books.

I never thought that sci fi and king arthur could be meshed into one novel but patricia has done just that. I read the first book and was moved by the characters enough to read the next three in aeryn's trilogy and beg for more! I continued onto Arthur and was again moved to tears. Read this book the characterization, writing, and storyline are unique and the more you read the more you become involved with the Keltiad. Boys and girls alike will enjoy it! READ IT!

What a joy it is to see women portrayed in sci-fi/fantasy in terms other than buxom princesses or evil sorceresses! PKM is without a doubt, one of the best writers of the genre to come along in a long time, male or female. This was the first book I read by her, and quickly scooped up anything else I could find. I hope the other books in the series are due soon! Way to go, PKM!

A must read for those who like sci-fi which is well developed. This isn't hastily slapped together, the writer goes into great detail in describing the society, background, core beliefs, political structure and culture of Keltia. The amount of detail is in itself facinating. You have a vivid picture of the setting - both time and place, which in turn brings the characters, their motivations and the setting to life. It puts me in mind of the Star Wars universe in the amount of detail established. The Copper Crown is a great place to start, though my favorite is its sequel - The Throne of Scone. The tales of Aeron, Fionbarr, Arthur and Brendan are wonderful - 5 stars!

The Copper Crown was the first book I read by Ms. Kennealy Morrison. Not only has she created a world many of us would like to live in, but the attention to details relating to the aspects of politics, religion and daily life are unbelievable, I guess I should say livable. After reading her book on her life with and without Jim Morrison I can see why so many details are there. This series has been a work in progress that I personally hope never ends. Write on Ms. Kennealy Morrison, I'll be there to read them.
