Aram ZS reviewed The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur by Lev Grossman

Lev Grossman: The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur (2024, Viking )

A modern Camelot for a world that needs it

5 stars

A really great book. A wonderful take on the classic tales and an excellent continuation of them. It is a throughly modern story in a way that updates King Arthur and the Round Table's form to make it more intriguing, insightful and relevant to our current time while it also grows the legend's soul, in the way that only the best Arthurian tales can.
