Good Read until the last 200 pages
I enjoyed the first two-thirds of this book immensely. I even went back and picked up an Arthurian Encyclopedia to brush up on all of the characters! But, I have to say, the last section of the book really dragged on. Much of it could have been cut as it was repetitive.

This is the story of Arthur. Written through the eyes of Morgaine, the Fey. And probably because it is thus biased, I wished that Lancelot could love her instead of Guinevere.
I have read and re-read this book 3, 4 times. And I still enjoy it. And I still find something different and compelling that I haven't seen before.
There is particularly a passage in the book that moves me all the time - when Morgaine's mother, Vivianne realises that King Uther Pendragon is actually her soul mate from another life. But he does not recognise her.
