The Bright Sword        

by Lev Grossman

Penguin Random House

    This retelling of the legend of Camelot centers on the less well known people of the realm, makes villains of some of the heroes, has a great deal of bloodshed and is, overall, a wonderful read. Grossman explains in a short essay at the end a bit about the way this story has been changed over hundreds of years with each retelling - the anachronisms and lack of historical accuracy - which bring new colors to each of the stories. 

    This is a fine addition to the lore.
