Reviews for The Once and Future King

[Bady · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It has its curiosity due to the way it is written and the comments and comparisons with the current situation that the author makes. Personally, I prefer other artistic works; this one, perhaps, is more true to the origins, as it includes legend, magic, and the writing style is "more ancient," but I prefer other stories. Other than that, there's little to add; there appears a Lanzarote that is not at all cinematic, an Arthur about whom little can be said as a man and husband, and a Guinevere who is... very Guinevere, characters mistreated and with their demons.
