Customer Reviews

Every story better than the last.

This is one of those books that you wish you could read again for the first time; each story is so tightly wound and entertaining that every sense of the world around me fell away. One story in particular, by Esther M. Friesner called "The Three Queens" has stayed with me - partly because of the flow and imagery of her words, but also because she brings an entirely unique possibility into play in the Arthur/Mordred relationship that was extremely thought provoking. Then Friesner turns around and writes a very amusing tale about the very long wait for KA to wake up - (The Lady of the Lake is hilarious!) Most of the Arthurian short story anthologies which have come out recently are very good, but this book is one of my favorites. If you decide you like this one, try "An Invitation to Camelot", edited by Parke Godwin - one of my other favorites!
