  <default_description>WATER SPIRIT DAMOSEL, the Lady of the Lake, glides through Arthurian legend like a glamorous wraith, shimmering and shifting between the worlds of fairies and humans. Her knowledge is vast (magic, metal, men&amp;#8217;s hearts) and leads to her greatest honor&amp;#8212;and worst mistake. Damosel makes a promise to the wizard Merlin to protect young King Arthur, and then dares to break it&amp;#8212;with devastating results. All the while, 17-year-old Twixt&amp;#8212;a dwarf in a world where difference can be deadly&amp;#8212;finds himself freed from his cruel masters and moving closer to the one place he never expected to see: King Arthur&amp;#8217;s court at Camelot.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stephanie Spinner intertwines the two narratives of Damosel and Twixt to draw us straight into the rich Arthurian land of enchantment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very interesting idea for a story, but it didn't keep my attention.  About 1/4 of the way in, I was forcing myself to keep going.  By the time I was 1/2 way in, I had skipped several pages several times, hoping I would get more interested in the story.  But I didn't.  So I'm done forcing m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38330940">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this better once I realized that there were two narrators and not just a mental author, but it still wasn't that good. Damosel's story was mainly her hearing stories about Arthur, so it told the legend (and of course the most common one of Guinevere and Lancelot's love, and Mordred and Morga...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20010054">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well, neat idea. Nothing much done with it. I would have been far more interested in more about the Ladies of the Lakes and their society and existence and instead we are forced to deal with a paltry retelling of Arthur's tragic story and ugh, did we really need another one of those? No, no we did n...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42734536">more...</a>]]></body>
