3.0 out of 5 stars Variation on the King Arthur legend., Dec 7 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: King Of The Sceptred Isle (Hardcover)
Coney has put together an alternative perspective on the telling of the Arthur legend.

Although comical at times, it does get a bit boorish at times.

A good read for Arthurian fans looking for a new take on the old tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining twist on the Arthurian legend..., Jun 8 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: King Of The Sceptred Isle (Hardcover)
This is an interesting novel that I read on accident. It was really a serendipitous find in a bargain bin. The characters are primarily those from Coney's previous novel, Fang The Gnome, and he ties these in with the primary characters from the legend of King Arthur, retelling the tale from a different perspective in a different world. The "many-worlds" theory also comes into play, and that is affecting the events in the world in which this story is set. Also, the unseen influence the gnomes have over events is rather amusing; they are the catalyst behind the formation of the legend. In other words, Arthur is really just a bumbling young man who is promoted by mysterious events, many of which are due to the actions of the gnomes. This is a good, lighthearted read that should be enjoyed by fantasy fans of all ages. If you can find this book on the shelf at a bookseller that sells used books (because it is out of print), pick it up and give it a try.
