Lancelot And The Wolf

I admit to buying far too many books long before I ever read them, and so I often forget exactly what a book is by the time I do. That said, I knew this was an Arthurian story (I mean, Lancelot is the title character), so that made me decide to finally read it. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember for certain what type of story it was beyond that. I had some idea it might be a gay Arthurian romance (right up my alley), so I read it with that in mind. Let's just say I was very confused for the first half of the book. Even the book didn't make it clear if it was a heterosexual or homosexual story, but made enough reference for me to think it was–right up until he “fell in love” with a girl. Presumably.

Now I will say this: the story feels like it does a good job of taking the traditions of an Arthurian romance, including the dangers and unpredictability of the fae into account. But I was still puzzled until they finally reached Camelot, and the true romance came into play. I won't give away more here except to say yes, this is a gay Arthurian romance. If that's what you're looking for, this is definitely worth picking up.

There are some SPAG issues. Too when the author means to, apostrophes where they shouldn't be, and far too many commas. But despite these issues, it was well worth the read. The author seems to have a (mostly) good sense of flow, and the characters all were quite enjoyable/interesting.

I immediately picked up the second book, because watching these two makes me definitely want more of them. Three stars for the SPAG issues, otherwise it would have been four.
