Resumen del Editor
The king's heir of Ianon is long lost, vanished into the south. Her father refuses to name his son heir in her place, though that son is a mighty warrior. Then one day a young wanderer arrives with news that both breaks and heals the king's heart: His heir is dead, but before she died, she gave birth to a son. That child, now grown, has come to take her place. But the king's son will not surrender his hope of kingship to a boy without a father, though he claims to be the son of a god.

Alexander's beauty, strength and defiance were apparent from birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. His mother, Olympias, and his father, King Philip of Macedon, fought each other for their son's loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle. His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotle's tutoring provoked his mind and Homer's Iliad fuelled his aspirations.

Celtic Britain is on the brink of collapse, and the kingdom's bloodiest days are upon it. For many years, the people of Briton have enjoyed peace and prosperity under the reign of King Arthur. He has ruled with dignity, honor, and humility. Arthur is now weakening with age, however, and the seeds of discontent are being sown. Seeking to cleanse the land of Christian belief, dissenters need a symbol with which to legitimize their pagan claim and gather malcontents together into a cohesive weapon.

Historia
It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

The future of Britain is at stake. In the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, the despotic Uther Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death, and his kingdom is being torn apart by the squabbling of minor kings. But only one man can bring the Celts together as a nation and restore peace - King Arthur. Artorex (Arthur) doesn't yet seem like the great man he will grow into. We meet him as a shy, subservient twelve-year-old living in the foster home of Lord Ector, who took in Artorex as a babe to protect him from murderous kin.

The land is rife with danger, as warlords vie for supremacy and dominion. In the battles for control of the region, new oaths are made and broken, and loyalties are tested to the limits.

In 1437, the Lancaster king Henry VI ascends the throne of England after years of semi-peaceful regency. Named "The Lamb," Henry is famed more for his gentle and pious nature than his father's famous battlefield exploits; already, his dependence on his closest men has stirred whispers of weakness at court. A secret truce negotiated with France to trade British territories for a royal bride - Margaret of Anjou - sparks revolts across English territory.

Historia
In ancient Egypt, a woman might be king - but the price she paid would bind her soul for eternity. Hatshepsut, the Great Royal Wife, is bound in marriage to her brother, Thutmose, whom she despises. When the king dies while his son is yet a child, Hatshepsut raises herself from queen regent to ruling king. And all the while, the royal heir, the son of the concubine, watches and waits.

Historia
For 500 years the Saxons ruled England, crushing the ancient powers. But a wave of change approaches. Across the Channel in Normandy, William is born-the bastard son of a duke and a magical woman of Druid descent. As he grows to manhood, William's battle skills earn him respect, but his temper and disregard for his innate magical abilities hold him back. He needs a teacher, whether he wants one or not, and finds one in the beautiful French noblewoman Mathilda.

Historia
The war between the Golden Empire and the Empire of the Sun is over; the empires merged into one, and there is one emperor over them all: Estarion, heir to both royal houses. But Estarion will not accept half of his heritage, nor will the Golden Empire willingly accept him. The same forces that assassinated his father are arrayed against him, led by the last scion of an ancient imperial line--and he must stand against them and truly unite the empires or see all the great work of his ancestors reduced to rubble.

Alfred of St. Ruan's has lived his life in the seclusion of the monastery. But a badly wounded knight on a mission from the Elvenking, a beautiful and mysterious stranger who walks as both woman and beast, and a warrior king call him out of the cloister's walls into the wars and storms of the world.

Tarr's style elevates this standard epic fantasy
Originally reviewed at Fantasy Literature.
Every day, for years, the King of Ianon has stood on his castle’s battlements, hoping to see his daughter coming home. He is old and she is his heir. When someone finally arrives, the king is told that his daughter is dead, but she had a son, Mirain, whose father is the god Avaryan. The grieving king opens his heart to this unknown grandson, but there are others who are not pleased with the new development — especially the king’s concubine and her son Moranden, the king’s bastard and a great warrior. Stuck in the middle is Vadin, a boy who’s assigned to be Mirain’s squire. It is Vadin who has the best vantage point and is able to witness the struggles, trials, and triumphs of two young men who want to be king.
The Hall of the Mountain King, first published in 1986, is the first in Judith Tarr’s AVARYAN RISING trilogy. You can tell by my description that it’s high epic fantasy and its premise is nothing new. In this story you’ll find much of what you’d expect of this genre — swords, horses, castles, kings, bastards, concubines, squires, soldiers, battles.
But even though I’m a little tired of epic high fantasy, and even though I’ve read dozens of stories like this, I nevertheless enjoyed the audio version of The Hall of the Mountain King. First of all, it’s performed by the masterful Jonathan Davis, one of my very favorite narrators. Honestly, I’ve got a bit of a crush on Jonathan Davis. His smooth gorgeous voice can cover over a multitude of sins. I don’t think too much covering was necessary here, but still Davis’s voice probably had a lot to do with how much I enjoyed The Hall of the Mountain King and, if the story appeals to you, I highly recommend the audio version. I know you’ll agree that the performance is wonderful.
Tarr’s story is far from original and doesn’t stand out from the hundreds of high epic fantasies on the market, but her style elevates it somewhat. In fact, it wouldn’t be far out of line to compare Judith Tarr’s style to that of Guy Gavriel Kay. Her characters are deeply developed and spend much time in thoughtful introspection and discourse which sometimes borders on the melodromatic. We’d love to hate Moranden, the bastard warrior, but because we sense his inner turmoil and the guilt he feels, it’s impossible to hate him. Mirain, the upstart prince, spends much time examining his motives and considering what it means to be a king. Although they’re very young (around 16 years old), Mirain and Valdin talk maturely about the proper role of government in society and how to balance justice and mercy. The only character who I think gets short shrift from Tarr is the King’s concubine. Her motivations are simple and obvious, of course — she wants her own son on the throne — but a little more depth to the main female character (who’s also the main villain) would have been an improvement.
The Hall of the Mountain King is a story about love, hate, jealousy, revenge, betrayal, triumph and defeat. It can stand alone, but if you enjoy it, you’ll probably want to read the next book in the trilogy, The Lady of Han-Gilen which features a feisty red-headed heroine. I’m looking forward to it.

enjoyable
I felt like there were abrupt scene changes that were difficult to follow. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the reader or both. Overall I enjoyed the book and will listen to the next one. Instead of marveling at unexpected twists, as I have with other books, several times it felt disjointed and stuck into a developed storyline after it was finished.
