Ok, I'm obsessed with Arthurian Legends and have been for the majority of my life. That being said there were parts of this book that I knew were going to happen

like Mordred's betrayal

but with White's writing they were still exciting as they came about in the plot. There is a love triangle but it is resolved mostly by the end of the book which I appreciated since love triangles usually annoy me. Even with the love triangle there were several parts where I was metaphoricall kicking my feet or rolling my eyes at the romantic scenes something I personally enjoy with my romance. I found the relationships extremely well written and organic and enjoyed the liberties that White took to change the traditional Arthurian Legend into something new. I specifically loved tha neither love interest were presente as perfect and that their faults fit in well with their characture. The narration for the audio book was quite good and I don't regret listening to it rather then reading. Overall I loved this book and White's style of writing and can't wait to read the next one.
