It was with great anticipation that I read this book. And I wasn't disappointed. Although, I would have liked more jabs at the ever-annoying Ywain. ( )

It's time to stop reading these at such a rapid pace as they are getting a little old. The heroine in this novel is the daughter of a heroine from an earlier novel and all the original knights of the round table are getting kind of old. The resolutions of some of the problems are a bit arbitrary. ( )

Luneta is tired of living in dull Orkney with her mother and father (who happens to be the most boring knight of King Arthur’s Round Table). She prides herself on always getting what she wants, so when the opportunity presents itself, she jumps at the chance to stay at a family friend’s castle near Camelot. Her handsome cousin, Sir Ywain —a young knight seeking adventure—arrives just in time to escort her to King Arthur’s court.

Along the way they pick up a knight-turned-fool named Rhience, whose wit and audacity set many a puffed-up personality in its place. Before arriving at Lady Laudine’s castle, the trio stops at Camelot, where they hear the story of the Storm Stone, a magical object deep in the forest that soon sweeps everyone into a web of love, betrayal, and more than a bit of magic.

Filled with broken promises, powerful enchantresses, unconventional sword fights, fierce and friendly lionesses, mysterious knights, and damsels in and out of distress, The Lioness and Her Knight proves itself as witty and adventuresome as the rest of Gerald Morris’s tales from King Arthur’s court.

So not my favorite medieval based novel. It has the magic, knights, and dammsals in distress, but it's not as good as other books I've read. I liked it to an extent. To me, it seemed that a lot of really random things were happening to Luneta. Some of the these random things didn't make sense in the story line. My favorite random part had to be the Lioness called Lass.

There was a couple of different plots going on in the story. In one chapter there would be one villan and in next chapter there would be a different one. There was plenty of action and sword fighting and some romance. To make it a good novel Morris had to add some magic so Luneta is taught to be an enchantress, which comes into play later in the book.

The characters were easy to get a long with and easy to like. My personal favorite character was Rhience. He always had some thing witty and comical to say. It helped move slow parts along in the book. All of the characters were very well described and I had an emotion for all of them.

So it might not be my favorite book, but it was very well written. I enjoyed most of the novel and the only problem I were all the story lines intertwining in the book. But for the most part it was enjoyable. 4/5 stars ( )

I know-I'm really too old for these books and I ahve stopped re-reading them as much as I did but still!

They aren't great literature or anything but they're clever and they're the funniest versions of the Arthur legends that I've ever seen.

I used this book for a magazine article in English and totally failed because whenever I looked for a funny quote, I ended up (typing not copying because they aren't very well known) pages because I couldn't find where it became less funny. ( )
