katmarhan's review against another edition
4.0
Let's start with the fact that the Arthurian legend, in all its many forms, is one of my most favorites.
I liked the way the authors brought in all the tribes and groups vying for power and control in Britain--Britons/Celts, Picts, Saxons. There was at least an attempt to show both good and evil in the various groups. And many parts of the legend were included--Merlin (and Morgan as Nimue), the Grail, Lancelot and Elain, the sword in the stone. And there were twists from other versions--Morgause and not Morgan as mother of Modred (Mordred), a mutual desire between Ygraine and Uther, and the marriage between Arthur and Guinevere never consummated.
7/10
