I loved this book. It was meticulously researched and accurately portrayed life in medieval Europe. This was not a book that idolized Camelot. It portrays Arthur and his knights as human, and not in their best light. The book starts out with several of Arthur's knights raping the main character's sister, who dies from blood loss soon after. I found the James' portrayal of the rigid class structure throughout the book very interesting, and through the lens of the modern day, disheartening. Finally, a realistic Arthurian novel. (

I read this many years ago when it first came out, and recently I re-read it on scribd with my phone, mainly as a portable thing I could carry for a few minutes here and there. It's Arthuriana but was a decent narrative, and the implicit challenges to class structure were interesting. What troubled me a bit was the imperviousness of the protagonist and the late addition of magical explanation for what had already become a standard expectation in the narrative (the imperviousness of the protagonist), but it was still good fun.
