5.0 out of 5 stars Charming fantasy, April 11, 2000

frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Forever King (Arthur Legend 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

This retelling of the Arthur myths succeeds on every count that a good fantasy should-- we have the wounded hero, the eternal wizard, the child of destiny, and the troubled villain. Oh yes, we also have the Holy Grail. The Forever King asks the question about what would happen if Arthur and the grail come together again, this time in 20th century America. It asks it very well.

3.0 out of 5 stars As another reviewer put it, "Entertaining... fluff.", March 26, 2003

This review is from: The Forever King (Arthur Legend 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Overall, a fun read--a bit on the predictable side but the characters were engaging. Good airport reading.

(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Forever King (Arthur Legend 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've enjoyed this book over and over. An intriguing and fascinating romp through history and fantasy. The official reviewer obviously has no imagination! Perhaps one of my most favorite books of my adulthood.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it.
I was unaware that it was part of a trilogy, so I was disappointed when it ended without wrapping up loose threads, but I really look forward to reading the rest of the series.

A real nice story and I'm surprised that it hasn't been put into film or video. A nice bit of fantasy based on Arthur, Merlin and a young boy of today. Read more
