The bittersweetness is much closer to the bitter than the sweet in this book, but thankfully I didn't feel like I had to hate any character for the way they treated the others -- they were...

I was pleasantly surprised! To me, before I read this book, King Arthur without fantasy was unthinkable. I found straight historical fiction King Arthur sans fantasy was very enjoyable. So I think I will try Cornwell, besides continuing with this trilogy. However, I think there is a place for both treatments...
