Welcome to Litsy!

Take every Arthurian myth in one, blend it with the grit and grim of Trainspotting and Fight Club, strip away all notions of chivalry and romance, add a hefty dose of otherworldly-ness and you might find yourself inside this novel. It's certainly unlike any take on King Arthur I've read before. If you're looking for a raw remixed retelling of an ancient tale this should be on your list, but if you're an Arthurian purist, this may not be for you.

Found twenty-one words in The Sword in the Stone.

Still enjoying the series. In this volume, we finally see Lancelot and all his glory. Needless to say not everything from tales are their enemies. They are trying to get the holy grail and the bad guys will stop at nothing to get it. Great story and wonderful illustrations.

This volume is just as good as the first one. In this one, Duncan is still fighting monsters, very famous ones. While he is doing that, Merlin is helping the evil skeleton to find the items needed to destroy the while. Poor Galahad is changed and not for the better. Graphics are awesome and great story. Very bloody and violent. Looking forward to reading the rest in the series.

Absolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew
