I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I had heard a lot of mixed reviews but I have to say, I really enjoyed my time with it. It was fun and very entertaining. Harry as a main character was enjoyable and didn't annoy me like other male mcs. Some of the writing and dialogue was cheesy but it amused me at least, instead of putting me of. I'm definitely curious enough to continue the series, plus I hear they get better. So looking forward to that.

adventurous medium-paced

I think this was a fantastic way to be introduced to the Arthurian legends. The story is summarized very well, while still feeling like you're getting the story you came for.  Also simple and easy to understand language. Overall, I really enjoyed my time reading this one and I can't wait to pick up more Arthur related books!

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

As much as I love all the psychological elements in this book so far, the plot is moving way to slow for me at the moment. I'm just never in the mood to pick this up and whenever I do I feel like I could be making better progress with another book instead. So I'm putting it down for now and might revisit it this summer or during the fall when I have more time to dedicate to it.
