Praise
"Reeve's brilliant, brutal re-creation of Arthurian myth is a study in balance and contradiction: it is bleak yet tender; impeccably historical, yet distinctly timely in its driving sense of disillusionment."
11/1/2008
"It's a hard-edged, unromantic examination of Dark Ages realpolitik...Absorbing, thought-provoking and unexpectedly timely."
