Book Reviews of Queen of Camelot
Book Review: My favorite book EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book every single summer (sometimes twice in a row)! It is easy to read but a beautiful and wonderful story. Nancy McKenzie is an amazing writer. The characters are so developed and the story so complicated and wonderful.
READ IT!
Book Review: My favorite retelling of Arthurian legend
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely adore this book. As others have mentioned, Guenevere is written as a fully-imagined person, with complex emotions and motivations, from her childhood through the twilight years of Camelot. Unlike in some versions, I found the love triangle between Arthur, her, and Lancelot completely believable, and my heart broke for each of them in turn. Mckenzie also manages to flesh out a multitude of compelling supporting characters, making the reader just as apprehensive as Guenevere is when the soldiers ride off to battle, wondering who will return. If you have any interest in Arthurian myths, and enjoy excellently written characters with both flaws and virtues, don't miss this book!Book Review: My new favorite Arthurian Tale!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Queen of Camelot" was an absolutely amazing book! I had thought no tale of Arthurian Legend could surpass "The Mists of Avalon", but Nancy McKenzie accomplished it! The book is written with such explicite detail, you feel as though you're a part of Camelot yourself. The ending is bittersweet, I closed the book with tear tracks along my cheeks. Truly a work of art, congratulations, Ms. McKenzie, on writing such an awesome novel!Book Review: Pleasantly surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
My best friend practically bribed me to read this book when we were college freshmen in 2003. I kept putting her off, but by March of that year, I just gave in. I have no idea why I resisted in the first place. I am a very slow reader, but I finished this book very quickly, and it has become my favorite book of all time. The Grail Prince, the sequel, is my second favorite book. I highly recommend both. I have read Queen of Camelot every March since that first time--now 6 times--and enjoy it more and more. I will continue to read this book for years to come. It's different and the characters come alive for the reader. I really can't say enough about it. Go read it!!!Book Review: Queen of Camelot
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book I've read about Arthurian times and my favorite book ever. It was especially interesting because you could really identify with Guinevere as a reader. I couldn't wait to read the Grail Prince (which is a must if you have read this book - it's also really good).
