"and another brilliant story that reimagines King Arthur as a woman uniting/unionizing" according to Aaron Goldberg. As a fan of most things King Arthur, I was very intrigued by the premise of this anthology. I was sort of expecting the book to have mostly sci-fi stories based on the preview (which only gives a brief glimpse of the first story), but was pleasantly surprised to find that there is much more than that.

Anthology Win Devon I am obsessed with the way that this King Arthur Anthology was written and put together. Being that each story is different and really shows a great side to the heroic tale of King Arthur.This contains each theme and character we have ever seen in an Arthur tale, from Merlin to the theme of his ultimate sacrifice to save his people. I have never read an anthology that encompasses so many things but in the end they all blend together as if they were written cohesively.
