Continuing King Arthur's epic stories isn't easy. Doing it in the form of a poem that has not only a good form but also contents that make sense is an amazing accomplishment. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

The book gives a feeling like that of Sword in the stone, and Merlin. The legend of King Arthur is a very fascinating story; as long as you're a lover of adventure genre, you would love it. I love the vibe its giving. I would read it and know the storyline of this one.

The Arthurian legend has endured for centuries, and I think it is because we can relate to things like love, loyalty, helping others. I like the way the author has narrated this in poetry. The words flow nicely, moving the reader along with them.

Those who enjoy poetry will find this book interested. Even though I am not very fond of poetry, I might find this one interesting since it has a story to tell that I could easily understand, and the fact that someone has the ability to turn a poem into a sort of medieval book with an interesting plot makes the book more valuable. Congrats.

This book is appealing to me as I love reading stories related to King Arthur and Camelot. The thing that most excites me to pick this book up is its form. I love to read epic stories in poetic form. Also, the use of metaphor, hyperbole and simile in this story is exciting. Thank you for your detailed review. I can’t wait to pick this book up and read about Queen Guinevere and her kingdom.

I usually have a hard time understanding poetry. However, this story about Camelot and the evil Zorgar sounds interesting. I think it's great that the reader is prepared for the content of the poem around the Arthurian legend. Another positive aspect is that the rhymes are not forced. It seems an excellent option for fans of epic poems and Arthurian legend.

Give me anything about King Authur and I'd probably forget to eat!!! The review is quite clear in pointing out the pluses in the poem and even though I am not really a fan of them I would not mind having a look at this particular one. Excellent review.

Interesting in the fact that I love the legend of Camelot and King Arthur, but I don't care for poetry! That leaves me in a quandary. I hate to miss anything I can read about the subject, but can I appreciate it as I should since it is in poetry form? I am going to step out on a limb and take my chances on this one! Thanks for the excellent review!
