| ISBN | 0060971827 |
Norma Lorre Goodrich’s main pursuit in “King Arthur” is to uphold the historicity of Arthur the man, as well as to identify the true localities of his kingdom. Traditionally, Arthur’s seat has been placed in southern England, but Goodrich builds an extremely compelling case for putting Arthur’s...

My wife and I just finished reading this worthy follow-up to Bradshaw's great novel, Hawk of May. In fact, I like this one considerably better than Hawk of May.
The Kingdom of Summer continues the story of Gwalchmai and Arthur's warriors, but this time it is from the perspective of a simple Christian...

I *almost* didn't read this one yet because I found out that it's the third book in a trilogy, and usually I'm really anal about reading books in order. But I thought, It's Arthurian! I know all the characters; how confusing can it be?
It wasn't very confusing. :) Although, I give this book credit...

| ISBN | 1587150123 |

| Author | Sarah Zettel |
| ISBN | 0373802315 |
Camelot’s Sword isn’t my favourite book of the series, because the characters are definitely not my favourite and I think the way they eventually get together is a little too rushed. However, the way Zettel plays with the Arthurian mythos continues to be delightful, from her portrayal of Guinevere...

Doctor Who books are comfort books for me. It's always a familiar character, an intriguing mystery, some science-fiction(at least in the books), and by the end of the book, I'm certain I'll be entertained by the Doctor's antics, wit and humor, and warmed by his companions' loyalty, bravery and occasional...

| ISBN | 0440122910 |
Oh boy! I slogged through more than half this book and finally decided to call it quits. I wanted to like this, I mean I'm a huge fan of anything Arthur, but this book seemed to go from one gory battle to another with not much else inbetween. There was quite a bit of the young Arthur story, of which some passages...

Anthologies are usually hit and miss, but this one was mostly misses, and some of them unbelievably so. There were stories that had zero relevance to the theme, no matter what relevance the author may have thought they had, and others that were simply poorly written -- too cartoonish, making fun of Arthurian...
