Reviews

[Veronica Molina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Me gustó el contenido, pero no como estaba escrito. Lo encontré como tosco, poco amistoso. Y monótono.
Sí fue entretenido porque me aclaró muchas cosas que tenía inconexas de la historia del rey Arturo, pero como para atraer a niños/jóvenes a ese mundo... no, no me agrada.

A fun little read, enjoyed this more than I expected to and I think I’ll end up buying my own copy to reread.
