Amusement abounds in Excalibur’s return
Posted by tcabn in Fantasy, Uncategorized, Young Adult on January 19, 2013
– The Wrong Sword by Ted Mendelssohn; an Amazon 4.8 stars rating and 4.11 stars on Goodreads.
My Take on The Wrong Sword:
Mendelssohn creates a witty tale outside the pages of myth in his depiction of the legendary Excalibur, King Arthur of Camelot’s famous sword. Set in Europe in the time of the Plantagenet family rein, a crafty thief is forced to use his guile and intellect to find Excalibur and deliver it to an unsavory contender for the British throne but when he finally pulls the famous sword from its resting place, he finds the sword has its own ideas about who should wield it.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my book of the decade and a fantastic gift from my wife. I read it while on deployment in Afghanistan so the humour worked wonders for my morale. One of the wittiest fiction reads I’ve ever experienced; fast-paced and impossible to put down. Read the rest of this entry »

The Last Mask – Tradition by Stephen Winterflood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stephen Winterflood’s, The Last Mask is a dark adventure with traditional fantasy elements presented in a very unique style. Fantasy readers looking for a break from the norm will love the asymmetric structure and artistic writing approach. Traditionalists will likely feel less thrilled because early on the plot builds in an unusual way that can seem a bit complicated. You’ll see the value in his approach later as characters and plot find their convergent path. Read the rest of this entry »
