Chen Yang yc89731cb5 — Not technically a book about King Arthur, but more about some of the people who grew up and lived around him. I remember reading this (and the other two books in the trilogy) when it first came out, and was pleased because I shared a similar opinion of Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur that Jones does - Mallory's Arthur is spineless and whiny, Lancelot is much the same, women barely are treated as human, and the only character he seemed to like was Mordred. Jones took the basic framework of Mallory and turned it about so that the characters are actually human. Being a retired anthropologist, they also fit a bit better into 5th century Britain. The result is a pleasant afternoon read. This book centered on Pelleas, older brother to Arthur (both sons of Uther, although Pelleas' mother is a Pict woman and Arthur's is Igraine, widow of Gorlois). He ends up helping Myrddin raise the young Arthur, but it then follows his path in freeing the Picts from the Saxons and Gaels. Nineve, who becomes the Lady of the Lake, also factors in, first as the ward of Myrddin, and later as a romantic interest for Pelleas. If you know the characters already, and most of us do, this is a fun read. If you haven't met them yet, it still is enjoyable to see the unique spin Jones puts on this tale that "everyone knows".

Nicole Zhang zhy_623 — I guess it was creepy but I only felt creeped out for like 5 minutes. I love Kendall and Jacian! I have to say though, at first I was really skeptical with Jacian because of his behavior which made me classify him under the hot-but-brooding stereotype. I was glad to find out however that he's not brooding altogether. I'm not sure I understand who Piere is though, if he's mr. Greenwood or not. I thought it really ended with the bonfire, but not, which was quite creepy. Anyway, I'm having a hangover thinking of Kendall and Jacian's cuteness together.

Mob - mobgroupxxx — my favorite book of all time. a story like no other, a family as mad if not madder than my own and an emotional journey that stays with you forever.
