Review/Highlights:
This one is definitely not my favorite of the series. It feels really slow with no action, like the others have, and it feels as though it is setting up for the next one only. I did enjoy the parallels to King Arthur and stories such as those, though. Overall, it was too long and full of extraneous detail, where we should have seen a separate plot instead.
