jgurniak's review against another edition
1.0
I've always found the Arthurian legend to be intriguing. I picked this book up for that very reason but it was a let down.
I'll be honest and say that I didn't have high expectations for [b:Song of the Sword|60145|Elric Song of the Black Sword (Eternal Champion, #5)|Michael Moorcock|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1223648276s/60145.jpg|58518] in the first place but yet it still didn't meet them.
I lost interest very quickly and it just went downhill from there.
They say "don't judge a book by it's cover", this one is an exception. The book is as dull as the cover art is juvenile. And the writing is grade school level at best.

This book was both full of tropes and unique which is a very weird mix! I really liked it... I though Ariane was a cool protagonist and Wally a wonderful best friend(so smol, so precious, too sweet). The world built in this book can go far and I expect the other books to go more in detail about some characters or pieces of plot. It's always fun to read a book set where you live and I really could picture Ariane walking to the Central Library and eating pizza in the foodcourt of the Cornwall Mall.
If you ever feel like reading a short fantasy book, I would recommend picking this one up!

Don't you just love it when an author starts by saying, "Remember that old story we all know and love? Well, what if it had actually happened, but then it got mangled over the years in the retelling? What do you suppose really happened, and what was really going on?"
Well, that's exactly what Ed Willett has done here. I've read dozens of different books based on the legend of King Arthur, his sword, and his band of merry men, but this one stands out as a refreshing remix of that old tale, with plenty of gasps, twists and turns for readers of any age, that will have you flipping the pages at a frenzied pace.
And best of all, the adventure is just beginning.
