Okay, everyone knows the legend of King
Arthur and as this is yet another book on the legend I won't bore
you with a brief plot outline!
This
has everything the other books have - love; lust; betrayal; magic
and the most famous love triangle of all time!
However, McKenzie has a great flair for story-telling and at last
we have a Guinevere that has more to her than just a pretty face!
The central character of Guinevere is actually the second wife
of Arthur who married another Guinevere before this one. So the
guy has a thing for Guineveres!!
The book has a very Celtic feel and McKenzie obviously has done
a great deal of research to get this book as accurate as possible.
There are some original twists on the legend which give it a much
needed breath of fresh air.
If you've read the likes of 'Mists Of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer
Bradley and enjoyed it then this is a definite must for you!
