I would not have expected that the whole book is written in metered rhyming! What a lovely way to tell this epic story.

Books like these always remind me of Greek Mythology and Hercules. It's probably not one I'll read, but it looks like it'd make a great movie. Congratulations on book of the day!

Now this is a difficult work of art! One needs a lot of knowledge in order to fully enjoy it! King Arthur is one of my favourites, so I may find time for this long epic poem. Wonderful review, thanks!

With the author's use of figures of speech and challenging vocabulary, this installment of the Arthurian legend is an intriguing tale of conspiracy, loyalty, and courage. The reviewer emphasizes these points very clearly, and I really like the review.

The book seems as interesting as the first one with a unigue plot and a new interpretation of the well known Arthurian legend. And I have nothing against looking up the new words in the dictionary - I actually like it a lot. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I don't typically begin a book in the middle of a series, so picking up this isn't an option. However, I applaud the author for his initiative, for tackling such a terrific tale, and for embracing a poetic vehicle to relay the story. Congrats on BOTD.

You lost me at epic poem. As a former English teacher, I appreciate how authors can construct a story completely in rhyme scheme, but please don’t ask me to read another one!

Arthurian legend in fact the best, well my best. This review took me back to my fantasy world and the character names was definitely the most popular and convinced me fully to read it.

I love everything about the King Arthur and Camelot series! I don't usually read the books that have a fantasy feel to them but I make an exception for the Camelot stories! Thanks for the great review!

I like the mention of the writer using good metaphors. This always adds up to the story. It's also nice that the book has a satisfying end.

I have never heard of the Arthurian legend. However, I am always down to read books that help challenge my vocabulary!

An Arthurian story mixed with poem is quite uncommon. I'm curious to know how this book turns out. It could be great.

This seems to be an exciting book. Arthur's quest is dangerous and perhaps necessary. I hope king Arthur finds the answer he is seeking. Thanks for the review.

I know nothing about Autherian legend or Camelot. Neither have I read the first volume. This poetry book isnt my cup of tea so I will be giving it a pass. congrats on BOTD.
