Query: Disappointing at best

I have a tendency to read anything that is even remotely connected to Arthurian legends, so I snapped up this book immediately hoping for a new angle on the familiar legend since the cover clearly indicates this is Sir Gawain's story. I cannot begin to describe the depths of my disappointment. The story is tedious at best and becomes quickly bogged down in its own distinctions of right and wrong and sorcery and Light and Darkness to the point of seeming more like a sermon than an entertaining tale. The characters are predictable to an extent beyond them just being based on familiar legend, and truly there is little to distinguish one from another. The story goes nowhere, and the number of typographical errors (a repeated sentence at one point!) makes it irritating to read. If you're truly looking for a captivating version of the King Arthur legend, I'd suggest readingTaliesin (The Pendragon Cycle, Book 1)instead of this.
