Epic poems are something I haven’t read since college. Might be about time to give it another try!

Robert Murray adapted the epic poem from the tale of Camelot. The poem follows Queen Guinevere and four gallant knights as they set off to bring down Zorgar. Readers will encounter themes of loyalty, reverence, humility, bravery, and selfless leadership beautifully presented using metaphors, hyperbole, and similes. I really enjoyed your enlightening review.

"The Aftermath Of The King" by Robert Murray. An interesting poem, talks about the story of King Arthur and Camelot. This book has a very good poetry and has most of the similes and metaphors. Congratulations on the #BOTD.

This sounds like an interesting and captivating story. The name "Camelot" reminded me of"Merlin" and I hope it's a retelling.

Post by kiki2881 »

The first thing that I noticed was the book cover, and idk but it kinda reminded me of the book The Shack, and then I read the title so I assumed it was a metaphor for I thought the book was set in our time. And then I started reading your review and then I read Camelot and Guinverted, and then I was like I knew this story.

This review was well written and explained the book very well. I love Arthurian themes and tried to read this book - however the poem was just not for me.

The theme of this book sounded like a novel until you mentioned it was a poem. This is first poem I know to tell a historical story. Thanks for a compelling and interesting review.

Great review! You had me until poem, lol, but I'm glad you enjoyed the poetry and themes. I like how you told of the hyperbole and other figures of speech. And this is the true meaning of the word 'epic', which is used incorrectly throughout society today (and it's annoying).

Think of a book with a dialogue section where friends can recite to each other and this book would come up. The story line is one you’d look forward to reading. It has the mix of suspense and drama. A book to check out if you found Arthur and Camelot’s intriguing.

The character names in this book remind of of Holy Grail. I love stories from the old. There's usually wisdom hidden in every conversation. I'd love to read this one.

Wow, a poem used in telling a story with suspense. I'm not really into poems though but I might give this one a try as your review has piqued my interest in his book. Thanks for a nice review.
