Reading this again for the first time in twenty-some years, I see how Lawhead's writing has matured. It should be noted this trilogy was written primarily for a Christian audience and the Christian themes are more overt than his more recent material. Christian themes include the superiority and love of God. I can see aspects of Arthur and Robin Hood in the story. In the end it is a fun read in spite of the telling a story more than painting mental pictures.
