Quite good, I must say.

I happened to pick them up last summer while visiting the relatives. I spent a couple days reading through them and was very impressed. Lawhead is certainly an excellent author, and some of the plot developments struck me out of the blue- such as
Lewis eventually having kill Simon. Although, granted, when the book's called "the Silver Hand" and starts off with the protagonist losing his hand... well, it doesn't take much to see the consclusion.

I read all three a long time ago, and I don't remember them very well. One thing I do remember is I never liked Simon, even in the first book. How can you like him Hector? He's terrible and evil, and almost destroys Albion!

I thought Simon's ranting and raving in the first one was really funny. He seemed smarter than Lewis back then. Lewis annoyed because he was sorta boring and didn't seem to care or understand much about anything.

The character development of Lewis is really interesting and well-done.

Actually Simon's character development is really interesting too, though it's more Simon being in the right time and place to exploit people and resources because he's inherently selfish and doesn't care for other people.
