		UTHER is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything readers have seen before.
		I was interested in the fact the Uther and Merlyn were cousins and came from a great dynastic family but some of that family were less than convincing.
		Each section of the book starts with correspondence between Uthers mother Veronica and her mother but this is practically the only contact with these characters in the story.

		Whyte deftly stage manages Uther's boyhood, adolescence, early manhood and tragically unlucky kingship, revealing, through a host of well-rounded minor characters drawn from both legend and a seemingly inexhaustible imagination, a man whose courage and honor constantly war against his melancholy core.
		In "Uther", we are given the balancing story in which some of the major mysteries from earlier in the Chronicles are solved.
		Readers grow almost to hate Uther in books such as 'The Eagle's Brood' and 'The Saxon Shore', due to the often mistaken and harsh judgements of his infamous cousin Merlyn, from whose eyes the books are portrayed.
