I was expecting this book to be from Jalil's point of view, but it was not. However, April's POV wasn't terrible. It was better than David's. I don't even dislike David as a character, but I don't care for his perspective as much as the others'.

I feel like I'm going to say this for every Everworld book, but I wish this had more room for emotional depth. I suppose the lack of processing and description can come from the fact that the action happens so quickly - and the fact that YA has changed in the last 20 years. I have a massive classroom library and found K. A. Applegate's award-winning "The One and Only Ivan" on the shelf just yesterday. I'm glad Applegate grew exponentially as an author, so I'm holding out a little hope that the series will get better as it continues on. I think this was the last book that I read in the 6th/7th grade, so it's all new from here.

But, with that said... Galahad is a fantastic character. There was real potential for that character in this book, and he mostly lived up to it. And now I want to go read Tolkien's Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and brush up on my Arthurian legends.
