The book was a great read. A surprising take on the tales of King Arthur.. Mixing history with fantasy and fiction. Easy to read and kept interesting till the very end.. couldnt wait for the second book to be released (which it has in the mean time) and giving this a permanent spot on the book shelf.
In this story, a group of students are swept in events and people tracing back to King Arthur’s time. The main character is particularly aware of how dangerous the situation is and is fortunate to find allies who can help! There is plenty of action, as well as numerous plot twists as you (along with the protagonist) try to figure out what is happening and how to help out!
