Notes
1 - This is supposed to be a young adult book. O__O It's actually pretty intense, a sort of crazy character study of Mordred (Yes, that Mordred).
2 - The UK cover is seriously epic. I loved this book overall, but there were some rocky points that kept me from giving it five stars.
3 - I sort of bought this on a whim and I'm glad I did. Sort of the anti-Harry Potter and anti-Narnia at the same time.
4 - Why have I not read this before? I just know I'm going to be depressed when I finish this series.
5 - Steampunk~ ftw! I've been looking for a proper steampunk series for a while now.
30 / 50 books. 60% done!
