This has a refreshingly new insight to the Arthurian legend. Most books view the women as evil in Arthurs life, but this book shows a new view, that they were not all bad, but were forced to be used as a means to an end for survival.

This is one of my favorite sci/fantasy books and I would recommend the prequel and the sequel. You may try to feel sorry for the women in the plot, but in the end, you realize they are human and are more powerful and stronger than you'd expect.
