I picked up this book because I remember seeing the cover on my brother's bookshelf when I was very young. I tried to read it several times back then, but it was just too difficult for my little mind to wrap around. Now, twenty-something years later, I came into this book cold, not knowing anything about the story or its characters. So when it was finally revealed that this was a King Arthur origin story, it hit me like a friggin' freight train, albeit a very pleasant one.
Throughout most of it, even as far in as 300 pages, I felt like the story was constantly ramping up, similar to how just the very beginning of books feel. The pace and tone was so engrossing and the immersion into the story so complete that I was constantly looking forward to what was coming next. I'm eager to carry on with the series, but I know I need to do myself a favor and just let this one breathe for awhile; to let its dreamsong drift sleepily into the cosmic winds.
