    <body><![CDATA[I always enjoy Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, but I was a little disappointed that a lot of my favorite characters didn’t show up in this story. “Galahad” read more like science fiction than vampire fantasy, but it had its moments; especially when mention was made of Morgana Le Fey, Arthur, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55500308">more...</a>]]></body>
