The adventures, romances and intrigues of King Arthur, Princess Vivien, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Morgana Le Fay and Prince Mordred continue in this second book of the series, The Annals of the Heroic: the retelling of timeless legends as they have never been told before, in beauty and authentic complexity.In this, Gibby's venture into Camelot, the author succeeds where so many before have failed in finally giving the classic story the emotional depth and humanity that it has always lacked. Where before there were caricatures and cardboard cutouts of chest-beating knights and sighing ladies-in-waiting, Gibby has fashioned living, breathing people. It was while reading this second novel that I realized how subtly I was drawn in as the reader to be invested in Arthur, his queen and his knights. Most telling of all, though, is that out of all of the tellings of the myth that I've read, both classic and contemporary, Gibby's is the only portrayal that has ever produced any sort of emotional reaction in me. His Majesty and the Prince of Lothian brings the author's brilliant re-imagining of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table to an end with a unique sense of closure. Gibby's narrative leaves the reader with the impression that the 'original' story that we all know-a sword in the stone, a wizard that speaks in riddles, a cuckolded king and an incongruous fixation on the Grail--isn't 'the true story' of the once and future king. Jeff C.His Majesty and the Prince of Lothian is enthralling and entirely believable; it is wondrously what might have been.
