    About this ebook

    #1 New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast turns the legend of King Arthur on its head in this Goddess Summoning novel...

    After her car plummets off a bridge, Isabel, a world-weary photojournalist, struggles between life and death when she's saved by the Water Goddess—with one tiny caveat: Isabel must travel to another time to seduce the legendary Lancelot du Lac away from Queen Guinevere.

    The handsome knight is a dream for any woman in any century. Unfortunately Isabel is the one who’s seduced—by the soulful eyes of the wise and soft-spoken King Arthur. But for Isabel, a deal is a deal. Now, the King watches as fate takes from him the mysterious beauty he has come to worship, knowing all too well that any interference on his part could destroy the kingdom he loves.

      One of my favourite parts of this book is the map because it maps out the routes that all the female adventurers took. Each of the women went on their own adventures and through this book, I got to explore with them. Most of the time, the journeys we

      This was a really fun story. Light reading that can be finished quickly. With a fun and happy ending.
    • 4/5
      Romance is not my favorite genre, but this was fun. I enjoy retelling old legends or stories - and this was a retelling of King Arthur. The main characters were funny, and it made for a light and easy read. It's pure fluff with a laugh. If you need an easy read that is not deep, this just might do.

      I have been waiting and waiting for this book to come out since the moment I heard about it from Ms. Cast's lips at her 'Tempted' signing here in Baltimore. I almost died because 1. I love P.C. Cast 2. I love the Goddess Summoning Series and 3. I LOVE KING ARTHUR! So this book was being held to pretty high standards from the very beginning. I am happy to report that I was not disappointed. This whole series is one of my absolute favorites and it is number two in the list of my comfort reads. I pimp this series like no other and have yet to hear a complaint, so if you haven't read it yet, please do, start with Goddess of the Sea and you will be entranced and awed.

      Now I will get off my soap box and tell you why I adore this book. Ms. Cast has a way of writing strong female characters and tossing them into not-so-ideal situations. Luckily because the women are strong willed they come out the situations stronger, and usually happier (at least at the end of the story). In this book Isabel is a pretty strong character and she has to be to live up to the idolized character that is King Arthur. Speaking of King Arthur, he is incredibly written, and exactly as I would want him to be in this situation. I adored the love and relationship that grows between him and Isabel and I adore the fact that he is just as perfect as I, myself, could imagine him.

      I also love the fact that Isabel sweeps into the sixth century, not knowing, or able to do anything ever remotely sixth century like and is able to whip the entirety of Camelot into a frenzy. She is magnificent, the kind of women people would want to follow, and the perfect counterpart to the King himself. She is, in essence, the female version of King Arthur, and I love it!

      The plot was a bit spotty here and there, it slowed a tiny bit about half way in and there were a couple of times I wanted to throw a shoe at Gwen's head but other than that, this book is absolutely perfect. I wish the ending would have had a bit more oomph, because I know P.C. Cast can end a book with oomph, but it did not, and it was not an unsatisfying ending at all. I can not wait to read more books in this series, and I hope Ms. Cast continues to write many many more.

      I hate king Arthur stories.

      I was blindly reading this series and would have skipped it if I had realized it was Arthurian, but I didn't, so there you go. also, what's with randomly stepping out of the Roman Gods thing? it worked, why mess with it? especially with an overdone theme? I won't bother going into detail on why I disliked this so much, everyone has already said it before me.

      talksupe.blogspot.comI really enjoyed the story. But if you're a history buff, please ignore the inaccuracies (which I will not mention here) and comparing it to the original stories will be futile. Now I love King Arthur and everything he and Camelot represented. Who doesn't want a majestic knight and a King for that matter? The story was funny and romantic although at times I want to wring Isabel's pretty little neck because she would take some situations too far that I'm not surprised she haven't been tried for treason. But I got over it as my attention was solely on the dreamy King Arthur and everything ended happily.The story and ending is predictable and it's your typical romantic comedy story. As the weather gets colder and the skies turn gray, this is a perfect pick-me-up read.

      Hotshot 40-something photographer drowns in a lake after a car accident. The Lady of the Lake brings her soul to her world and tells her she needs help. The Lady's precious Merlin is dying due to Arthur's unhappiness. Go back to Camelot, woo Lancelot away from the Queen and back to the King so that everyone will end up happy ever after. Why not right. Nothing better to do. Easier said that done when Arthur turns out to be a major hunk of man. Loved P.C. Cast's reworking of the old Arthurian love triangle.

      This was okay ... I didn't like the ending. I'm not much into the whole Arthurian Legends, might give another book with the same idea a try, but this one was carried by Cast's ability to make you feel powerful as a women through her lead character.I thought at times this was a tad unrealistic. For the time this is set, Isabel would have ended up beheaded or something. I know Arthur fell in love with her spunkiness, but she pushed those boundaries a step too far one too many times ... beyond that of a normal strong women into psycho territory.Mordred was a wuss too ... he was made out to be this big bad and all it took was a knee bash to set him straight?!And that ending ... so what does the real King Arthur do now apart from mourn Isabel's loss? Ungh.
