Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks

Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper

Here Lies Arthur by Philip Reeve (Author)

An interesting retelling of the Arthurian Myth. Reeves writes well. Some passages are especially evocative of a distant pass. Characters are well developed and story nicely paced.

Like a number of modern reinvention of myths the removals of the truly mythic elements can leave the reader cold. Arthur is a bully and Merlin a charlatan. Camelot becomes a crumbling round hall.
