Review
King does everything well--characters, prose, plot, humor, drama. Mad Merlin starts out great and keeps getting better. My only complaint is that the book ends. - Locus, reviewing King's Mad Merlin More than anything else--the deft writing, the astounding battles, or the intellectual thrill of relating King's unique slant on Arthurian legend to other writers' versions--it is that vision that make this novel special. - Publishers Weekly, reviewing Mad Merlin From the first page I was hooked... This is a marvelous read! - Elaine Bergstrom, reviewing The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls Le Morte d'Avalaon is a fresh and colorful interpretation of the Arthurian mythos reading like a ballad sung by troubadours of yesteryear. - Harriet Klausner in Books-n-Bytes, reviewing Le Morte d'Avalaon
