review 1: This really is a lovely little story, and one that fans of Arthurian lore would probably very much enjoy. The main character is an Arthurian scholar, looking for proof that King Arthur truly existed. His story takes a wild turn, though, when his boyfriend breaks up with him on Christmas Eve, and he finds himself falling into a place that might be entirely fantasized on his part, and might be one part ghost story, and one part legend. Whichever it is, the rest of the tale is very heartfelt and revealing, and the character gets a lovely happy ending.I'm a sucker for Arthurian legend. Particularly the idea of past/future lives, which this story implies. Even if everything that happens is all in their heads, the Main character and his boyfriend still have a fascinating story t... moreo tell, and are woven into a much larger plot that makes me wish this book were ten times its size. I'd love to see more characters in this universe, though to do so might destroy the filmy layer between fantasy and reality that the author has so carefully constructed.Either way, I'm very glad I bought this story, and highly recommend it for a nice quick read.
review 2: 3.5 StarsI don't normally go for ghost stories. I do like Arthurian legend stories, though, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Overall, I liked it. Gavin and Piers needed a kick in the right direction to get their relationship straightened out and Gavin getting himself trapped in a hole in the ground (or did he) and rescued by two men whose names are Artie and Lance is the catalyst for Gavin's own bit of growth. Of course, maybe he wasn't rescued at all. I've got my own hypothesis on that, but to go into it I would have use heavy spoilers, so I shall refrain. I enjoyed the story, though. Definitely worth the read. less
