caitala's review against another edition
4.0
3 1/2 ⭐️
I think that this book is best read as a parable instead of as a novel. It’s a good retelling of the classic Arthurian tale and I enjoyed the changes that Paxson made to add historical and Celtic spirituality significance to it. However, the characters were never really fleshed out and felt one dimensional. The writing was was done but also felt like I was reading a bible story at times because it never went too deep.
