Well that was pretty bad. The humour was very awkward and the story was pretty boring. Thank god it was short. If the next book is similar in quality, I will probably give up the series

This would have been a solid 4 stars due to Merlyn’s cmments and character, even if the book is a filler. An important one, but a filler one still.
Unfortunately the Unicorn scene was too much for me. I felt uncomfortable, sick, and disgusted and surely there were other ways to show the character of Agravaine? I had to take off a whole star for that part alone.
Other than that, there is a lot of Pellinore and Grummore loveliness, and the start of the end.

The sequel to once in Future King is a bit of a bummer. It focuses heavily on the sexual relationships and repercussions of those relationships in the Arthurian legend.
All the characters become corrupt and confusing. The book lacks the carefree spirit that made the first in the series. So delightful.

I've enjoyed this one more than the first I think although I enjoyed reading in Wart's (Arthur's) point of view in the first book. More happens in this book and we get to meet and know Gawaine and his brothers whom are very interesting, we also get to know Pellinore and other characters more in this book. We see how Arthur has grown and how he thinks now a little more, although it does feel like he's definitely not the main character of this book. I think the conversations can be very funny at times, just the way they think makes me laugh.

How old is Arthur at the end of this story????? yikes.
I didn't enjoy this instalment quite as much as the first one as it didn't have quite the same whimsical feel to it, but enjoyable none the less.
