I am also fascinated by the story of Camelot and King Aurthur. This book is definitely a must read for me. Good job on the review.

I'm not interested in Arthurian legend, so I'm going to skip this series. Fans of epic poems will enjoy reading about Camelot, Queen Guinevere and King Arthur. Chivalric virtues are featured in this book. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This seems like a really intriguing read, even though I don't know much about King Arthur and Camelot. Congratulations on BOTD!

A suspenseful story about the politica of succession. A queen seeks the help of four gallant knights in order to secure the throne. I'm not very fond of the premise, so I'm skipping the book. Congrats on botd, though.

The book is a wonderful historical poetry but I'm not into this kind of poetry. To me, it's confusing. But, people who love epic poems would enjoy it. The review is well written. Thanks for it.

I love Arthurian literature and retellings. I’ve never read anything that’s tried to cover the era after Arthur died, although I’m sure there are ones other than this. Epic poetry is something I have to take on a case-by-case basis, but I love Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, both certain translations and the original Middle English, so if this has the quality of that, I should enjoy it immensely. Thank you for the helpful review.

This poetic treatise has Camelot story in the main. It has themes of loyalty, reverence, humility, bravery, selfless leadership, destiny and use our God-given gifts for good. In all this is a suspect! Interestingly book and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

The suspense will really get a reader be interested, add up the reviewer sharing the experience, perceptions, expectations, insights about the book that prove even more that reading is not just literally reading. For me this is a keen and smart review

Based on this review, I would give this book a chance even though I am not partial to poetry. The inclusion of an example of the author’s fluid rhyming and the observation that he successfully delivers this legend poetically is convincing.
