This is not your average Arthur legend. I'd heard that but dismissed it. AFter all, in this day and age, what is the average Arthur legend? But this is really, really different. Arthur is a seriously flawed not-King, Merlin is ... not admirable, at least to me, and I still have to decide about Gwen. Lancelot is an arrogant ass. All in all, though, it's an amazingly good story and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
