Although the warlord trilogy is based on the legend of arthur, the majority of the tale is based on Derfel and his opinions of Arthur and the events that ocurr in that time. It's BC's take on the legend that was intriging for me, not what you expect on the Legend of (king) Arthur.
Winter King IMO is the weakest of the three which I found a bit hard to get through, it's not till the second book that things generally pick up story wise.

I only wish that BC had written more books on Derfel's character after the events of Arthur. Derfel is one of my fav characters in BC's books and you know that he had a few more adventures after the third book cos he's writing as an old man.
