Paperbound Book Club April Pick (part 2)
(we are reading the omnibus, but separating it into each book so I’m reviewing them individually)
I guess I’m starting to get confused as to what the NYT meant when they said this omnibus was a recounting “in compelling detail” because I’m not getting that impression.
I was eager for this second installment and like the first, it felt a little disjointed. I was expecting a grand story about Morgan le Fay and while it started off promising, it progressed in a less than astonishing way.
More to come for this review once book club meets.

This book is about murdering animals and flirting with animals. Way better than the first one for me.

This entry was more a bridge from the first to the next in the series and not much actually happens.

No me gustó tanto la narración de este libro, fue muy literal, pero me gustó cuando enumeraba los objetos de las plazas, etc, sin embargo suelo tener afinidad por este tipo de cosas. El primer libro es mucho mejor desde mi perspectiva y en este se habla de cosas de la historia Gran Bretaña que honestamente no entendí.

Not a lot happens here. It is not as creative or as quirky as the first. Instead of being quirky and light, it is silly and ridiculous, and not in a fun way, just idiotic.

Definitely felt more like an episode than a book, as opposed to The Sword in the Stone. I suppose that's why they ended up smooshing them all together. I spent most of the book being horrified by the Unicorn Incident, which I ended up texting way too many people about and just... oh man. I wasn't expecting to FEEL LIKE THAT, is what I'm saying.
Didn't particularly care about the Pellinore/Grummore stuff going on (I suspect that goes over better with kids who are reading this book), but the scenes with Arthur and Merlyn more than made up for it.
