This installment wasn't as good as the first one for sure. What I loved the most about the first one was the amazing plot, the great main characters as well as the secondary, and their personalities. You had a very brave and strong warrior who was supposed to be the most evil creature but once he met his heroine he just simply loved her and was able to change. I know it may sound corny but it really wasn't because it was amazingly written.
But this story was cheesy. It was like reading More...

อ่านได้สนุกเพลิดเพลินดีค่ะ
เล่มนี้ไม่ค่อยเน้นต่อสู้อะไรเท่าไหร่
แต่อารมณ์ขันเยอะมาก ..
พระเอกมีภาพลักษณ์ร้ายกาจมาก
แต่อ่าน ๆ แล้วเจอแต่ความดี + อ่อนโยน
ส่วนนางเอก แรก ๆ ไม่ค่อยชอบ หลัง ๆ ก็ยังไม่ค่อยชอบ
มีความเป็นคนสูงมาก .. ฉากหน้าเหมือนนางเอกทั่วๆไป
อ่อนโยน น่ารัก เป็นคนดี
แต่ฉากหลัง .. เมื่อภัยมาถึงตัว ก็จะเกิดอาการเห็นแก่ตัวหน่อย ๆ
ตัวประกอบรอบข้าง ตลกฮากันไปตลอดเรื่อง
ก็อ่านได้เพลิน ๆ ดีค่ะ More...

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon (aka Kinley MacGregor) and was excited to read this novel. Honestly I didn't love it as much as I did the first one in the series. Overall the story was good, but it had a few holes in it for me. I couldln't get why Blaise went back to Avalon. Yes I know it had the whole double agent thing going, but it just felt WRONG somehow. The ending felt rushed as well. The story built and built and built, and then BAM the ending was in a few pages. There should have been something.

These stories always seem so generic. Heroine needs a man to save her… plus she’s a bloody virgin… and she ends up falling in love with the hero who doesn’t see himself as a hero but really is. Yeah… way too much yuck on it.
It was mindless which I why I read it over the weekend. Needed something purely fanciful and this fit the bill. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve liked other Kinley MacGregor books (or Sherriyln Kenyon which is her other pen name) but this one just wasn’t that good an More...

Not really sure what I feel about this story.
I like it, but I didn't feel it was as good as the first book.
It was really the plot I had a problem with; it built to a pretty lame and rushed ending to be honest. I think the ending could have been flushed out a bit more and better explained.
And, I don't think the story matched the description on the back of the book. I really didn't feel that animosity between Varian and Merewyn throughout the book that the descriptio More...

I have to laugh... Even on the first page, there was a total flub, although FUNNY AS HELL!
In a historical romance, I never imagined one of the charaters would say "No Shit, Sherlock!" That would be a "Duh" comment geared towards someone stating the obvious deduction with sarcasm toward their brilliance noting the Sherlock Holmes Jab. Not some King Arthur character?? I loved it, though, and it started the book off great for me!

I really, really, really liked this! In fact, I liked it more than the first one in the series. It had me laughing so hard in some parts...like when Merewyn fell into the pit of despair and was sooo woeful and complaining, or when Blaise was quoting Monty Python's Holy Grail (and he's a Holy Grail Knight who can time travel and that's how he knows Monty Python). There's a good moral lesson in this - to look past the appearance and into the heart of a person to judge them and love them.

I liked the first book better. She took liberties in using 20th century slang in this book but never really told us why. If I hadn't read the first book I wouldn't have known that they can time travel although they didn't do any in this book. I thought it was lazy of her to use so much slang and not stick with the 'talk' of the times the stroy was set in. These books are an intersting take on the Kinght's of the Round Table, Avalon, and King Authur.

Tertarik sama Arthurian Legend-nya. Suka sama Varian di bagian awalnya, because he’s too dark to be true to the light and too pure to walk solely in darkness. Baru nemuin kalo gargoyle tuh berasal dari batu biasa yang terkena napas naga. trus berevolusi deh, semacam Rocky a.k.a. Beau. can't imagine how cute a gargoyle can be...
celetukan2nya kadang gak pas ama settingnya, bikin kacau aja. blom lagi soal Monty Python itu. Kalau Varian masih bisa dibayangin bolak-balik ke dunia nyata, More...

This was an author of the month reading challenge, and I found a new author I love!! This book was great! The characters were likable, the banter was witty, it was a nice mix of modern/historical/fantasy/romance. How could you not like that? What really sold me was the Monty Python references and quotes in a Camelot/Avalon setting. Awesome. I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series!!

Although I enjoy some of this authors other work, this is my first and probably last Lords of Avalon. Author introduces some fun characters, but they don't develope well. Characters not very likable, plot is shallow, Monty Python & Spamalot references are tedious. More a spoof than real novel. About half of this book is all I'm going to be able to tolerate.

Absolutely loved it! To quote again: Unputdownable! In the first chapter, I was instantly hooked, and I had a damn hard time trying to put this book down! The characters have distinct personalities, especially Varian, and I loved the banter between characters. I loved his 'take shit from no one' attitude, it suited him well. And the way he instigates... this book makes you laugh while holding your breath to see what happens next. And darn it, after checking out her website, I didn't realize that

I'm using the base of my review from book #1, as book #2 is pretty much the same theme...
Interesting. Not interesting, as in fascinating. Interesting, as in whatever! This series tells the tale post-Arthurian legend and combines races of being Kenyon often uses in her Dark Hunter series. There's a hint of time travel in order to justify the use of modern phrases in medieval times. Kenyon's stories are mostly paranormal so time travel should be expected to a degree, but I felt this bo More...

I think I might have enjoyed this book more when I was younger. Overall, a good story, though at times the writing is a bit juvenile. A good bit of fiction set in the Monty Python/Ex Calibur universe, or rather, based on the Arthurian legends, with a lot of Monty Python references....

I am in love with Varian. This book was so far my favourite! I loved the story, the characters and the ending! Everything about it was fun and exciting to read. It was very sweet story with a lot of love between Varian and Mewryn! Can't wait to read the next book! ;)

This was a good book. But did not like it as much as the 1st one of the series. Be interesting to see where she goes with the next one. She always writes with humour, but this book kind of over did it in areas. Almost to the point that it didn't apply to the story.

This is book 2 in The lords of Avalon series and it is FANTASTIC!!!
I loved it even more then the 1st/previous book.
Varian and Merewyn are wonderful characters...so easy to read about. I love the world that is created and how it is created, feels real - almost like your really there.
This book had me laughing, smiling, crying... It was nothing short of brilliant.
I'm anxious to get my hands on the 3rd book.
