A Must-read

"This story is amazing. The style, the description, it all drags you in. The characters are mostly the well known characters from King Arthur. There's Merlin, the sword: Excalibur. I recommend reading this through, at least a little, as it's a very satisfying read. I added it to my reading list after reading the first two paragraphs. I can only hope that you love it as much as I am..."

"Well, first it's worth saying that the opening scene is intriguing; the mood is well conveyed. However, I do find it hard to continue reading when there are several spelling errors, and some grammatical errors early in the piece. e.g. alter, rather than altar, too i.s.o. to, Liege (it's not a city in Belgium), etc... As far as the style, I can see what the author's going for - a moody, atmospheric sense of magic and age, but it's a bit over-used. Perhaps consider being a little more sparing with the purple-prose? i.e. show, don't tell! Especially with such a well-trodden path as the Arthurian legend, it is surely a good idea to make some aspect unique... the voice; the tone? So plus marks for attempting to do so, but, in my opinion - and it's only my opinion - this work needs some editing."
