Will definitely finish the series. I love how cornwell wrote the characters and how the story is told. I love how religion is used in the story. I hope this book becomes more popular

I dunno, I like the idea of the book & what it was going for more that I liked the book itself. A lot of it just "didn't age well" edgy 90s tone of the narrative, but even so...

El mito artúrico a mi ni fu ni fa, pero este me ha parecido un gran libro.

Al principio es un poco lioso con tantos nombres (y tan raros) pero pronto te vas sumergiendo y te atrapa y te mete de lleno en esta época y en los hechos que narra. Si lo lees con un mapa de Gran Bretaña y la Wikipedia al lado para ver con qué ciudades se corresponden las del libro con las actuales mejor que mejor, aunque mayormente se desarrolla en lo que hoy se conoce como península de Cornualles.

Cabe decir que el libro forma parte de una trilogía, así que es más bien introductorio y la historia no queda cerrada, solo un arco argumental.
