“This book is epic: it's long, there are a million characters, and people read it because it's amazing! It's a very smartly written new perspective on the Arthurian tale, and you will never see the "evil" Morgana/Morgaine the same way again! This is the kind of book where it leaves your head a little fuzzy at the first reading. Lord of the Rings did that to me too. (Doesn't mean I didn't love it). The second time around, I got a lot more out of it. ”
