This was a very enjoyable book. The chapters were short, each ending with its own cliffhanger, and the prose was easy enough to absorb at a sleep-deprived four o'clock in the morning. I finished the book very quickly - I always devour anything Arthurian. The setting was a little vague, though only because I was thrown off by the mention of payment in dollars rather than Euros (I had assumed the island upon which it is set was somewhere off Ireland). There was quite a bit of recapping throughout, and I hoped the Arthurian thread would come to a head by the end of the book (it didn't). This was enough to get me to want to read the next book in the series, however, which I am now doing.

A fun and interesting twist on the second coming of Arthur, with plenty of folklore and magic thrown in to boot!

I didn't hate it, but I didn't really love it either. Not sure yet if I'll continue the series

Technically I finished it.  I read 80 percent, and skipped to the end, but the ending was not all that much of an ending.  Lots of pieces weren't resolved.  The choices the main made weren't making a lot of sense which is why I stopped about 80 percent.  The tired (oh, so tired) tie to Arthurian legend left a lot to be desired.  In short, I didn't care for the book.
