Perilous Times

2.25 Stars.

King Arthur and his knights in the modern era? Sounds intrigueing....too bad we never really got to see it. Too much time spent lecturing on climate change, most of the knights don't even appear, and Arthur, Lancelot, and Merlin are unrecognizable (Arthur as a Trump wannabe? Make Britain Great Again? Seriously?) Would be nice if heroes could just be heroes—they don't have to be perfect, but there is no need to make them complete jerks, for lack of a better word, either. Main protaginist is just an eco terrorist and has no real redeemin qualities other than she likes trees.

This was almost a DNF for me....and I cannot remember the last book I DNF. 2.25 Stars for the snappy dialogue and potential the premise had...too bad the lecturing, politics, and bad charcterizations of a classic King and his Knights got in the way.
