I didn't remember the first book in this trilogy that well, so getting started with this second part took some time and effort. Merlin is looking for Mordred, Morgan plans revenge, Agravain spreads hate, Guenevere sends Lancelot away, and Arthur and Guenevere are unhappily together for the most part. Now, having read this one, I'm keen to read the final part too. ( ) Como rey y reina supremos, Arturo y Ginebra reinan de forma suprema en los numerosos reinos de Gran Bretaña. Aún así, Ginebra lamenta en secreto la pérdida de su amado Lanzarote, quien ha regresado al Lago Sagrado de su infancia, con la esperanza de restaurar su fe en la caballería en el lugar donde aprendió a ser caballero. En una brillante ceremonia de Pentecostés, los nuevos caballeros prestan juramento a la Mesa Redonda, incluidos los sobrinos de Arturo, Agravain y Gawain. Después de muchos años de luha, se restablece la paz en el reino de Ginebra. Pero la traición, los celos y las antiguas enemistades de sangres se enconan sin ser vistos. Morgan Le Fay, ahora la madre del único hijo de Arturo, Mordred, se ha convertido en el centro de la antigua búsqueda de Merlín para asegurar la supervivencia de la casa de Pendragón. Desde el este, llega la demoledora noticia de que Ginebra puede tener un rival por el amor de Lanzarote. Una sombra sombía vuelve a caer sobre Camelot, y sobre la isla sagrada de Avalon, donde los sacerdotes romanos amenazan la vida de la propia dama. What I liked about Guenevere in the first part of this series seemed to disappear to an extent in this one. Where once was a strong woman, fit to be queen of a nation, there was instead a wholly irrational, completely unpredictable woman governed instead by strange twists of mood and fancy. It made her seem human but not quite in the way that was established in the first book. What I think was established really well throughout, though, was the lack of straight good and evil definitions. Morgan Le Fay may have been the antagonist throughout, but she was not purely evil and there was given explanation for her neurosis. Other revered characters took turns in the "villain" light, while managing not to become a textbook villain. Possibly what I found most enjoyable, though, was the fact that despite the fact that this was a middle book, it didn't seem to fall into the syndrome that so many of them do, where it becomes more about slowly revealed expository than actual moving plot. I enjoyed this just as much as the first one for that reason. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Camelot, and Arthur and Guenevere are holding a feast. But amid the joy of the ceremony, one key figure is absent. Sir Lancelot du Lac has left court, sent away by Guenevere, who is tormented by a love for him she may neither honour nor deny. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
