Book Reviews of Queen of Camelot
Book Review: Beatiful storytelling at its best...
Summary: 5 Stars
This entire series of books by Nancy McKenzie was spectacular. This is the first tale of Arthur that I read and I have never loved another Arthur book the way I loved this one. It was true to the original stroy while also addding its own quirks and twists. Guenivere is a woman who can turn any head with both her strength and her beauty, but doesn't let it affect her kind nature. She can ride a horse better then most men and goes hawking for fun. Gwen proves that a woman can be beautiful and still have strength. She seems so real in this book, and I cried when I read about her death in "Grail Prince" (also by Nancy McKenzie). The Arthur-Gwen-Lancelot love triangle is facinating to read about, and even though you want Gwen and Lancelot to be together so desperately by the end, they hold true to the values they've cherished throughout the book and stay true to Arthur. Arthur himself plays a very important role in this book, and is prtrayed as just and awe-inspiring. I respected him in this book, and learned to love him, just as Gwen did.
This is by far the best legend-of-Arthur story I have read and will probably ever read. I loved it from the first page to the last, and I will read it over and over until my copy falls apart. I have fallen in love with the characters and the land of Camelot, and I know that if you read this book, you will too.
Book Review: Best Arthurian Novel Out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many books (both historical and fictional) about King Arthur and the myth that surrounds him, but this is the best fictional book I've found yet. It paints a vivid picture of Camelot, told from Guinevere's point of view. However, even though it's from her point of view, all of the male characters are distinct, believeable and real. I liked McKenzie's book much better than the Mary Stewart series. A book you will enjoy and love, even if you're not that well versed in Arthurian mythology.Book Review: Best tale of Queen Guinevere
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very very happy with this tale of Queen Guinevere! I couldn't put the book down! I was so so engaged in reading it.. It was so real. The image of Guinevere was clearly set, and wonderful. I was very excited to hear she has another book in the Arthurian legend, Grail Prince, which I recommend reading.This book is WONDERFUL! I loved it! I HIGHLY recommend anyone to read it!

This novel is absolutely amazing. By far the most beleivable of any Arthurian Legends I have ever read. The story just grabs you and you just can't put it down. It makes you think, it makes you laugh and it makes you cry. By far my newest favorite novel.Book Review: Could Not Put It Down
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. The writing was excellent and the character development was compelling and moved forward through hundreds of pages without missing a beat, holding my interest throughout. I had not thought about the Arthurian legends in decades and this book jumped off the shelf at my local library into my hands. I only buy books I want to reread and pass on.. and this one is a definite gift item for all my book loving friends as well as my own library.
