I’d like to enhance my vocabulary so I’ll make sure to read this book. Also, I did not expect that the way the author narrates this story is poetic. Now, I got to add this to my shelf to know more about the journey of the King and his thirst for excalibur.

I am interested in the Arthurian Legends. This book explores Camelot more, and I might give it a read. Thanks for the review.

Wow! I'm intrigued. An epic poetry based on an epic legend! the whole book is written in metered rhyming. Learning new words from a poetry might be daunting, but kinda worthy. Great review!

This is an interesting epic poem. I would like to read the contents too, and witness how the characters would progress in the story.

Writing a poem is not easy. To weave a story into a poem requires a brainstorming mind. This author did a wonderful job in this book. I even admire his use of figures of speech to embellish his writings. I'm so impressed enough to read this book. Great review.

I want to read this series. I was hooked by the first page of the introduction and this review has sunk that hook even deeper. The poem style along with the opportunity to learn new words coupled with the setting of the story sounds wonderfully fulfilling .

Personally, I think The Lion of Camelot would be an intriguing read for me since I haven't picked up a poetic book since high school. Literature class was definitely not my favorite, but I still have a fascination with Camelot and the world it creates. This series sounds great! Thank you for the review :)

This second science-fiction/fantasy poetry book about King Arthur and Camelot sounds like it can be a challenging read because of the higher vocabulary. Great review!

Not sure if this type of book is my cup of tea. I don't think I'd enjoy the story being told through poems. Also, it sounds like this series requires you to read all installments. Thanks for the informative review.

Very smooth transitioning between books. The plot made sense and written with excellency. I’m not really a big fan of King Arthur and the whole story of Camelot and finding Excalibur but this was definitely a good read.

It's great to know that this series smoothly continues from the prequel. There are a couple of things that interest me here. I would like to know more about the king's obsession with the sword, Excalibur. Again, why the talks about the king's legitimacy, among others.

Thank you for your excellent review. It seems that readers might enjoy this book best on a Kindle where they can easily look up words! An epic poem sounds fun for aspiring poets and lovers of Camelot. Congrats to the author on BOTD.
