Reviews for Conversationally Speaking

As Whyte waves off the fog of fantasy and legend surrounding the Arthurian story, he renders characters and events real and plausible. -- Booklist <br> A wonderful, rip-roaring journey down the road to Camelot and King Arthur, the way it really might have been. --Robert Jordan <br> A top-notch Arthurian tale forged to a sharp edge in the fires of historical realism, Whyte focuses even more strongly on a sense of place, carefully setting his characters into their historical landscape, making this series more realistic and believable than nearly any other Arthurian epic. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Singing Sword <br> It's one of the most interesting historical novels that I've ever read and I've read plenty. --Marion Zimmer Bradley on The Skystone
