really enjoyed this one. i like beaufils pov and i was highly entertained by the fact that just about everyone he met felt the need to tell him he was super hot. i was mentally casting him as alfie enoch btw
see look at that face! he brings both the cute and the good-natured; my casting skills are beyond par
the target of william morris' humour this volume is religion which, hey, write as the spirit takes you, it's certainly significant enough to arthuriana to be worth addressing. i felt this volume didn't manage to be as funny as the rest of the series though -- probably because there's only so many ways to be like 'hermits, amirite' - but the likeability of beaufils and ellyn made up for it. 3.5 stars

tigerlinus's review against another edition

This had potential to be one of the best in the series, but sputtered at the end. The reader finally gets more of Terrance & Gawain in this tale, and I liked Beaufils' overall journey and character traits. I didn't connect with Ellyn, didn't understand the point of her character, and thought the story would have been just as good, if not better, without her. The ending felt short, hurried, and was unfulfilling. This was close to being that 4-star story but, unfortunately, it fell flat.

This one is the story of Beaufils, who sets out to find the Knights of the Round Table. Just before her death, his mother tells him that his father was one of King Arthur's knights. So he decides to look for him. On his way to Camelot, he meets another man looking for his father, Galahad. Beaufils has very limited experience of the world, but decides to stick with Galahad as he sets off on a different quest--the search for the Holy Grail.
I really enjoy this series. My only complaint, really, is that the cover art is horrible in this book. I hate that picture! But ignore it, and jump right in to the story. It's worth it.
