This is a wonderfully engaging book written with modern language and modern flair. Beyond being briskly written, its particularly engaging because it skips using Arthur, Lancelot and Gawain as the primary characters and focuses on Sir Kay. While Kay is often portrayed as a crumugen on in most novels, here you see ~why~ he acts that way. He's got the kind of job where he's always busy and not just waiting for trouble to pop-up. Unfortunately for him, trouble that's specifically directed at him ~does~ pop up and he's pulled out of Camelot to deal with.
Cherith Baldry's story is full of interesting twists that kept me reading at full pace. Hopefully you will too.
