a very fun read for any arthuriana fans who prefer contemporary (re)tellings to wading through ye olde texts. i think that it might be a bit of a dense read for anyone not especially into arthurian legend who's reading this for the murder plot only, with frequent pauses in the story for other (more or less) related tales, but i personally loved it, and found it all tied quite neatly back together in the end.
