David McK (3623 KP) rated Excalibur (The Arthurian Chronicles, #1) in Books

Oct 26, 2024 (Updated Oct 26, 2024)

King Arthur.

There's no proof he ever existed, with the 'original' (for want of a better word) imagining of him being all Medieval style, Knights on horses, shining armour, lances etc (think the film 'Excalibur').

More recently, that's shifted to post-Roman Dark Ages, in the period between the Romans leaving Britain and the Saxon invasion.

Which is very much the time period in which this novel is set, (re)imagining Arthur to belong to this period (and all that entails), and with Merlin as a Druid rather than a Wizard.

This also 'brings in' several notable characters from the Arthur story alongside both Arthur and Merlin - Guinevere, Kai, Igrainne and Uther all make appearances here - but there is one notable absence (Lancelot) who, I presume, will appear in later books.

Well worth a read.

everything on story mode is amazing theres lots to keep you entertained side missions strangers and of corse horses ? once compleated the story theres still lots to do you can hunt find treasure run your own ranch and much more but online isnt so good everything is too expencive and its hard to earn money and gold the feature games arnt too good and ranking up is very hard to unlock the simplest of items im rank 12 and its taken alot to get there it is good in the way you can choose gender and pick what your player looks like but other than that its too much work for not alot of rewards.
