A wonderful, different and unfamiliar take on Arthurian legend ... a pretty awesome read that comes recommended. * Fictional Hangout * A gripping tale of treachery, bloodshed, and plague . . . Morvran is like a fantasy equivalent of Breq, the starship narrator of Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice (this year's Hugo Award winner). Readers who enjoyed puzzling their way through that tale of slaughter will find much to enjoy here * Amazing Stories * A lovely book. Its story is suitably adventurous and exciting and for anyone with the slightest interest in the Matter of Britain this entertaining tale is recommended reading * A Fantastical Librarian *
