PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The ninth and final installment in Whyte's Camulod (Camelot) series offers an imaginative if rambling account of the end of the Arthurian era. Narrated by Clothar of Benwick (Lancelot), King Arthur's best friend and loyal companion, the novel is grounded in the author's "interpretation of Lancelot" as "an archetypal hero." Faced with fractious local rulers and Saxon invaders, Arthur hopes to unite Britain to fend off the invasion. But two regional kings the treacherous Symmachus and the ambitious Connlyn unite to frustrate, and ultimately destroy, Arthur's dream. The basic plot, however, is overburdened with a stew of subplots and backstories: Clothar's affair with a betrothed woman adds heft but not substance, and the detailed recounting of the paternity of Arthur's son, Mordred, the fruit of an unwitting incestuous affair with his half-sister, is distracting. The author also sends Clothar off on a seven-year detour to Gaul where he trains a cavalry force and saves his cousin's kingdom from the Huns. Clothar returns to Britain to find that events have taken a dangerous turn and a final showdown looms with Camulod's enemies. Fans of Whyte's exhaustive retelling of the Camelot legend will welcome this final chapter.

After I read this, I might come back and give it a review... might. And I might change the star rating too.
OK, so about five days after purchasing the book, I decided to read it. I changed my star rating from one to five. I doubt that it is Jack's fault that the publishers dick around with releasing it on digital instead of paper for some obscure reasons.
So I waited a few days to read the story, because I knew that it was the end, and although I was saddened at the conclusion, I enjoyed the story very much.
