Lili, an apprentice of the Lady of the Lake, is the childhood friend of Percy, the boy who will become one of Arthur's greatest knights. But as they grow older, Lili begins to see their differences. She has otherworldly magic while he has the magic that lives within the Human Heart. Lili dreams of knowing human love while Percy dreams of finding the Holy Grail. Neither can succeed without the other. Once again Crompton weaves together nature, feminist perspective, and Arthurian legend for a tale that is sure to appeal to readers of all ages.
Industry Reviews
"Readers looking for a decidedly different take on the popular reconstructionist view of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table will find much to enjoy and consider in Crompton's latest book." - The SF Site
"And elegantly written novel, PERCIVAL'S ANGEL is filled with prose that is almost magical in its construction. The reader is immediately swept into the world of magic and knights and ladies and kings. While this is the third in a series, it does stand alone (I haven't read the first two books myself) and it's an adventure that readers of Robin McKinley and Ursula K. LeGuin will love to follow." - The YA 5
"I enjoyed this book so much, I'm tempted to buy Anne's two other Arthurian books.
Aside from loving Arthurian legend, I also love any books about magic. Of course Arthurian legend is steeped in magic (a la Merlin), so this book's plot intrigued me in that way as well. Basically, I was hooked in from the first word and read the book in less than two days... I'm even tempted to read it again! The plot was steeped in believable fantasy and was a very easy read. This book is perfect for high school aged girls and up." - The Twinners Reviews and Giveaways
"Crompton succeeds in incorporating the mysticism of medieval romance into her fantasy... This well-written fantasy can be compared to Katherine Paterson's Parzival and will please the insatiable fans of Arthurian legend." - Voya
"Percival's Angel is a unique reinterpretation of the Arthurian legend that combines romance, poetry, and magic to retell King Arthur's story from the perspective of a magical female. King Arthur plays only a small part in the novel. It focuses on Percival's quest, Lili's desire for a human heart, and Alanna's fear of losing her son. I would recommend this one to young adults who enjoy medieval or romance fantasy novels." - BookLoons
"Percival's Angel is the third book in Crompton's Arthurian series and my first time delving into the series. A mystical and magical tale. The writing is like nothing I've read before. It's written in such a way that is almost poetic, which made for a delightful story. I was most intrigued and in the end enjoyed reading it. I have always loved the King Arthur legends, especially from the female point of view. I think fans of Fantasy and Arthurian Legends will like this one too." - Anna's Book Blog
