Helpful Score: 2

This second volume of Miles' Guenevere Trilogy suffers from middle-book-itis. All the characters have been introduced, the major conflicts have been established, and nothing much happens except that Lancelot is repeatedly sent away by Guenevere, comes back, and is sent away again. This does get rather tiresome about the third time it happens. The most original segment of the book puts Miles' pagan/feminist twist on the origins of the Christian Holy Grail myth. As the "bridge" volume of the trilogy, I'll have to reserve judgement until I finish the whole series; but as a stand-alone book, this one would leave something to be desired.
