Thank you for visiting from http://bookworm0440.blogspot.com

This was my first exposure to what is known as Arthurian literature, so I must admit I was a little nervous to dive into it.

I found myself enjoying it, not only was it a quick read, but found that although it has an exotic sounding genre, it’s somewhat generalized.  However, knowing this is a YA book, I must caution this may not be a good book to begin reading this genre with. I got the impression those with knowledge of Arthurian lit, were getting a lot more jokes and inside details than someone who is starting fresh.  That could be a minus for this book.

The writing was a bit heavy, and while it was a quick ready, it most certainly wasn’t an easy afternoon read.  Readers will most certainly have to work at this book in order to plow through the descriptions of characters and world.

While I do not know much about this genre, I certainly know about reading, and this was not one of the easiest ones to follow or enjoy.  I would classify this as niche read.  Those that are used to this genre, I am sure will eat it up, those just starting with it may find themselves putting it down, never to try the genre again.  I am going to give this book a middle grade as I am sure part of it is that I am not familiar with this genre.  However, I think no matter what the genre, YA readers should be able to pick up a book without having to do heavy research beforehand.

I received this book two weeks ago and have read it twice.  I plan on reading it yet again.

For being Becca Fitzpatrick’s first book she has hit it on the nose.  That is such a rare find!

While this is classified as a Young Adult title, adults will also be thrilled and captivated by this story.  It has everything you would ever want: mystery, love, jealousy, betrayal, salvation, redemption, and of course death.

It was my intention to write this long, raving review.  But I can’t.  It would take me DAYS to write everything I loved about this book.

So I will write the only thing I can think of to show how I feel about this book…

SPRINT! to the bookstore when this book comes out.  It will be sold out 5 minutes after it hits the shelves.
