The first thing I said when I saw this book was, "wow'. The title is intriguing. I have watched the movie on Camelot and I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

I always have enjoyed Arthurian legend, but I don’t typically enjoy poetry. Maybe this is the book to get me started on a poetry journey! Thanks for your review!

I don't like to read poems and although I love learning new words, I'm not really fond of having a dictionary by my side to check the meanings constantly. So therefore I won't be reading this book. Thanks for an insightful review that gives a clear picture of what to expect.

The review was really in-depth and detailed, it piqued my interest to read the book and to know more about the history of Camelot.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy story following the grandson of King Arthur that takes over Camelot. However, when his legitimacy is in question, he goes on a quest to retrieve Excalibur. Will he succeed? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The Lion of Camelot by Robert Murray seems like a poetic narrative about the history of a royal family. I often struggled with historical poems back in school, so I would struggle as a reader with looking up a lot of the vocabulary. Regardless, excellent insight on this text!

I missed reading the prequel to the Camelot Chronicles series, but in this sequel, I find fascinating elements that revolve around the Camelot kingdom.

'Official Review: The Lion of the Camelot' by Robert Murray well examines the story of the book for keen readers. It provides the readers with an overall idea about the engaging science fiction story of the book. The point that the book is an intriguing tale of conspiracy, loyalty, and courage is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the author uses figures of speech, such as similies and metaphors, to breathe life into his writing, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the story gives us the lesson of the need to be upright in our doings!

Thank you for your great review. I'm so glad you enjoyed this book. I have not read the first volume and poetry, even epic poems aren't something I enjoy. I am going to pass on this book, though I am sure many will enjoy it as Camelot seems to be a favorite for many.

Very interesting introduction and poetic ambition in writing this second volume. I would need to look up the etymology and meaning of quite a few of the words, methinks. Looks like a really fun read!

Although Arthurian legends are my favorite. Poems are not my thing. Plus, you mentioned that there are difficult words. So I guess I give this book a pass. Thanks for the review.

I love Arthurian tales, so this book sounds up my alley. Epic poems are very hard to pull off well, so I’m glad to hear that this author seems to have done so in every aspect. I haven’t read the first volume yet, so I’ll need to do that before I read this one, but I’ll add them both to my list. Thank you for the helpful review.
