  • This book was awesome! I was so enamored with this book I could not put it down. I'm tempted everyday to pick it up and read it again.

  • I would call it a monumental adaptation of the King Arthur legend. It's not your average fantasy book with powerful spells, epic wars etc., but a melancholic story about how the pagan religion of old Britain faded...

  • The story of King Arthur, from the point of view of the women. A huge, epic novel, well worth the effort. This is one that will stay on my bookshelf, to be read again someday.

  • 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.

  • So...it's taking me forever to get through this book, though not for a lack of interest. I am enjoying it, but I just read bits and pieces at a time. I'll finish it eventually.
