Growing up, Camelot was my favorite story so if this book is the same vein as that, then I know I'm going to enjoy this read. I hope King Elias finds the love of his life. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Expect the familiar elements of Arthurian legend: chivalry, knights, romance, and political intrigue in and around the castle of Camelot. Murray’s writing in verse is daring, which makes this piece an excellent selection for lovers of experimental storytelling or poetry.

I love ballads and the fact that literary devices can be used so freely and to such good effect in them. The reviewer mentioned three types of literary devices when writing about "Battle Ballad of the Royal Knight" by Robert Murray.
The review made the point that the transitions between stories was too abrupt and perhaps another edit and revision round would be in order.

Someone like King Elias who is occupying such a high position needs to be extremely careful when choosing a bride. Interesting review!
