From the building of Camelot to the tempering of Arthur's allies Gawaine, King Ban, and Lancelot, this tale of love, loyalty, and war reveals a fascinating world where battles are won by faith as well as force, and peace is as elusive as the mist of time itself. First in a planned trilogy. A lively extension of Arthurian lore. . . .--Publishers Weekly. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

And the story works very well through most of its length: Arthur is raised by Myrddin, his wet-nurse is a commoner named Anna who is rescued from slavery by the company, and discussions of war, land-holding, and Druidry are examined well as part of the story.
But after Arthur is crowned King and Pelleas sets off on his own, probably the final 40 pages or so, the tale meanders into and then I went here and did this, and then I had this battle, and then this knight made me angry, and then . . . "till I finally ended reading the book. And the dialogue brings the whole soaring narration down to a thud. The sentences are simple, serve to show that the characters talk amongst themselves, and I didn't find much engaging in them as part of the story.
Still, for originality in bringing a new twist to an old and loved story, I do salute the author's abilities." ( )
