good arthuriana

I liked this examination into king arthur myths. modern in deconstruction of the great knights but no way tedious or deliberately cynical. I think the portrayal and flaws of the round table knights goes a long way to build up the tragedy of it all. not as cynical and historic like warlord chronicles but instead mythical and wondrous.

do note this audiobooks chapters in app and in book aren't quite right but the book plays just fine.

fantastic world

got it cuz of the cover art and synopsis. the post apocalypticy england science/fantasy mishmash worldbuilding is awesome plus I'm a sucker for river trave adventures. it's alll are right up my speed. the production and narration is spot on too. characterisation is great. yet something about the story's package makes it less the sum of its parts.

unfortunately the river quest adventure left me on the shores a few times.

Couldn't stop reading it! wow it was such a display of tragedy and triumph. this book series is easily one of the best I've read and this book had me totally enthralled. perfectly read, too!

adored it.

I've been running the King Arthur Pendragon tabletop roleplaying game for a while and thought I'd read this as a fun inspirational read after stuff like Mallory.

Holy crap this book gutpunched me and had me in its grips entirely til it was over. It was so much more than what I expected. From the first debut of Arthur in the eyes of a 14 year old to the great battle I was enchanted in its story.

I had no experience with the author's writings prior but the narrator I knew from other books, like Helsreach. And the booming voice of him is exactly the melodramatic flair this book required. absolutely perfect.

a long struggle but interesting!

Struggled to finish this book by the end of it simply because it's so long but overall this book is just full of interesting insights about the earth's history and how were a part of it.

This was the first place I heard the theory that early moon tidal pools may influenced land based lifeform evolution as tides trapped creatures into pools and lakes!

I wish the book spent more attention on the 20th century but I'm glad I read it.

great performance

loved it. I knew a little of the call of Cthulhu adventure they referenced so I doubly enjoyed their interpretation but if you're coming at this fresh that's probably even better. great job with it! earnestly perhaps there were too many tongue in cheek commercials but it wasn't so bad.

a weak link in this series. most of it is fine I guess. the start is pretty abysmal but the book tacks in the middle back into the slice of life space stuff that we all love.

A return to form!

Classic Dumarest. After #7 I came into Veruchia hoping for a more interesting story and wasn't disappointed. I come into these stories like this is a poorly funded CW show premiering after Stargate on a weekday night.

World politics, Cyclans, Earl fighting some genetically modified animal gladiator-style, and a little mystery.

Most importantly, the audio of this production is suspect in a couple places (especially the back half).
