The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman
Collum is a farm boy who grew up dreaming of the court of King Arthur and his Round Table. When he finally get the chance to travel to Camelot, he is dismayed to discover that King Arthur died two weeks earlier. His court is in disarray, and the remaining knights are not at all what Collum expected.
A retelling of the legends of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, all rolled into a single narrative of knights, magic, and adventures. The story slowed down about 2/3 of the way in and the narrative could have been tightened up. The backstories of the characters were the most interesting parts. Recommended for fans of Arthurian legends and historical fantasy in general.
