4.0

For such a short book, it absolutely packed a punch. In under 200 pages, Griffith constructed a beautiful work with rich, diverse characters. While I know just the basics of Arthurian legend, the writing pulled me in and made me want to know more and make the connections from the traditional myth and this retelling.
