Reviews

[Meg Cook · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit like a history book, and while the beginning is rich and joyful, I stopped caring about the subject matter near the end. Lancelot and Guenever? What happened to Merlyn? The Gawain found here is irreconcilable to the one I knew from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. My Arthurian knowledge has improved.

An interesting story about the legend of King Arthur.
It was ok and worth reading, but was slow and a bit morbid near the end.
