Finished reading Once and Future King

I have finished Once and Future King.

It seems White saved all the evil for the final short installment of his telling.  Here we have everyone's sordid past trotted out for all to see.  Here Arthur is forced by the same mechanisms he believed would save his idyllic Camelot, to instead lose his ability to remain innocent of Lancelot and Guenever. Here we see Mordred engaged in his treachery, and hear something of the back story to Arthur's "original sin", sending boatloads of innocent babies to their deaths in a vain attempt to avoid a prophesy.

I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday evening.
