Mordred's Curse by Ian McDowell
4.0
Arthurian, but with Mordred as the central character, and Lancelot's role as well as his own. Bitter twisted heroic Mordred, and even more twisted religious Arthur. I liked it. Mordred's an antihero I can enjoy.
The only change to the standard legend that bothered me was the loss of Gawain's other brothers. Probably justified in the source material, but I miss them.
Gawain is very much like White's Gawain, and all the other Gawains, despite the change in his family. I guess he must go far back.
