How the story should be told
Bought the first book as a shot in the dark and wasn't sure at first but after finishing all three I'd say that it's one of the best reads I've had. The legend of Arthur totally different from the fairytale bt how it should have been told with gritty realism and just enough of th dark mystery left in. Hollywood should have went with this plot when making the film. One of the stories you don't want to end but a word of advice would be to purchase via the three books in the one set option to save yourself a few quid I dint notice this option until I was buying the last book.
