I really wanted to like this book. Mercedes Lackey has written some of my favorite books (The Fairy Godmother and Firebird to name two) but this just flopped miserably. The worst part is that it was a fantastic book up until the last third! I was really excited to read her version of the Arthurian Saga and she didn't disappoint in the first half of the book with fun twists on familiar characters and places. Somewhere around the last third though, she got lost in legend canon and her voice and characters turned into well, the stuff of legend. It was like the book just died . . . She should have just kept to her own version of the story and screw avalon's mists and sons that want their dads to die . . . seriously . . . ick.
