Another fast paced story with endearing characters. A good modern take on the Arthurian legends. The only draw back is the modern language that isn't historically accurate.
Although the books are sold as juvenile, this story left me even more with the impression that they would appeal more to adults. ( )

Still love it!

First review: A delightful mockery of the ideals of knightly courtesy as well as feminine and masculine roles-- all in Gerald Morris's fantastically wry tone. My introduction to Roger the dwarf gave rise to one of my last imaginary pals, and Lynet is the Bella that should have been. And as for Beaumains- One can only wish that Edward would take a page out of his book! ( )

This has my very favorite kind of romance -- where the girl falls in love with the obvious hero, and then realizes the hero's a dipshit and falls in love with the sarcastic sidekick instead. You can't go wrong with a sarcastic sidekick. ( )

Good book. Really funny.
  mateideyr | Jul 17, 2015 |
Clever, occasionally trite, but really interesting. I knew the story, so I ignored all the clues, which turned out to be a mistake, as the story was slightly enhanced. The author makes some interesting remarks about his sources in the afterword.

It should be interesting to read more about Lancelot's development from the deeply annoying person, but brilliant jouster of the previous books. ( )

Epigraph
Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold; this is no stability. But the old love was not so; men and women could love together seven years, and no licours lusts were between them, and then was love, truth, and faithfulness; and lo, in likewise was used love in King Arthur's days.
-Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur
Dedication
To my parents, Russell and May Morris.
First words
It came to pass in the years of darkness, when magic and sorcery did oppress England, that a great king arose and for a time drove back the evil forces.
