This is a much more realistic retelling of King Arthur. In this book Arthur doesn’t come across as a myth so much as as a regular man. If that makes any sort of sense. In other stories there is this unreal quality about him but here we see him more human than myth. Peter Gibbons…

Yolo by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers’ Alley by Rosie Clarke | Book Review

It does pick back up after King John’s…
