Camelot and King Arthur's poem, I admire the author's efforts to carry on these great legends; this is something that poetry fans will undoubtedly appreciate. Great title too. Thanks for the review!

I'm not interested in the story of Kind Arthur and Camelot so I don't think I'll enjoy this book. Also, I'm not a big fan of poems so I think I'll pass.

Queen Guinevere leaving the nunnery to help Camelot rid of Zorgar sets the premise for an intriguing series of events. It is a unique poetry book that wonderfully tells a cohesive story. I love the themes and Authurian legend infused. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The story about King Arthur and the knights in Camelot is interesting. I am glad there is a book like this that talks about Camelot again. I will love to read this book. Thanks for the review.

It's unusual to hear of an epic poem being published nowadays, and much less an outstanding one. I don't care much for the Camelot story or poetry in English because, since it's not my native tongue, I feel like I always miss some nuances but I'm always glad to read a truly enthusiastic review! Thank you!

Although I don't know much about King Arthur and Camelot, I however love the way the author has written this book. I am a fan of poetry therefore, I find this book quite refreshing especially with all the rhymes in it. Thank you for this interesting review and congratulations to the author for writing such an interesting novel.

Stories about Camelot still find a way to surprise the readers as much as the original. I would love to see more about how Queen Guinevere will save her people. Congrats!

I adore myths and legends of that time period, because they are full of bravery and courage, love and magic, battles and victories. I am heartbroken that I won't be able to read the book, due the poetry format for which I have no tolerance. Anyway, congrats with BOTD!

As much as I love the tales of the Camelot and the struggles to keep the throne, the presentation of the story just doesn't fit my taste. Poems are not my cup of tea... I'm not a fan of poetry

I can’t say I understand poetry when I read it. It’s not my favorite writing form. Although the book itself sounds interesting, I wonder how much of it I would understand. I will have to think about this one. Thanks for your detailed review.

The tale of Camelot sounds fitting for an epic poem. I'm not entirely interested in the topic, but I do enjoy well-crafted verse and a rhyming scheme that is lyrical but not forced. Thanks for the absolutely glowing review!

Very good review,omitting nothing and making me want to read a poem recently written about one of the oldest, legendary love strories. Guinevere as a powerful woman is portrayed in modern style.
