Sleepless knights

I love Lucas! One of the reviews printed in the book called this “the arthurian legend Wodehouse never got around to writing,” and I feel like that sums it up very well. The plot is a wild ride, so you have to hang in there at certain points, but the ending wraps everything up quite neatly. My two criticisms – mild spoilers!! – are that, despite the plethora of knights running around, there are precisely three women in the story (one inactive queen, one understated love interest, and one evil villain, aside from a very minor character or two); and that Arthur doesn't come across at his best, or even as very likable. But, to be fair, all of those issues are in the original legends too. If you're familiar with the Arthurian legends, you can see the references the author makes, and it will help you keep track of the knights' drama.

Bottom line is, I enjoyed the book and I liked seeing things from Lucas' point of view. This is a very fun, funny adventure through a variety of old legends and one I will definitely reread in the future. :)
