The second volume of Once & Future takes the reader back into the worlds of not just Arthurian legend (with a major twist) but brings in stories of others as Granny and Duncan face off against a twisted version of Sir Galahad.
If you haven't picked up volume one of this superb you really need to do so as this story continues to develop into a world where King Arthur is a threat to Anglo-Saxons as some extreme nationalists discovered before they were sliced up. Arthur is here to stand for the old Britons and we're the enemy!
This time we see a wily old magician appear in both the Otherworld Camelot where Arthur and his undead forces are preparing to invade Britain but also in England as his Machiavellian scheming begins to take shape.
A faux robbery distracts our heroes as Merlin sends his minion to steal an old poem from the British Library. Enter Beowulf and he's pissed! There's so much more happening in this fast paced adventure that centres around an old peoples home. So no spoilers.
Just remember as soon as you are aware of the stories and their monsters they'll be coming for you!!
I've already pre-ordered volume Three which is due out in August.
5 Stars (Highly Recommended)
