I loved the characters and the adventures. There were times when this book was repetative, some books that bothers and some it doesn't, this was one of the books were it didn't.

Thoughts:
I found this very insightful. As a person who has adored the legend of King Arthur and has researched it many times, I didn’t know what to expect going into the text. I didn’t know if I would dislike it or find it boring. Solely due to knowing too much. However, I throughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook of this text. And loved the way it was written. There is an extra bonus on how beautiful the cover is.
How I read/listened to the text:
Ended up listening to an audio book as a read alongside the novel. Which eventually just lead me to listen to the audio book as I went for a walk. I tend to speed up audiobooks so I finish the text faster than I would have if I just read it (I’m a slow reader).

Reading this has the same vibe as watching The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).

This book was a slog to get through. I disliked the author's writing style; it made what should have been a fascinating retelling of legends boring. Rather than storytelling and interesting dialogue, it was almost completely exposition, which made the book really dry. Also I believe the author was trying to make the reader like the characters, but they weren't well-written. They were also written as people with mostly negative/bad traits but the author tried to present it positively, which I found problematic. I won't be reading anything else by this author.
