"Arturo" Favored with Reviews

Joan's urban fantasy, Arturo el Rey, has received glowing on-line reviews since its release in the summer. Eternal Night e-zine, in the UK (www.eternalnight.co.uk) writes (excerpt), "On the surface Arturo El Rey is essentially a story of a post-apocalyptic society trying to regain order after a catastrophic terrorist biological attack....But this book is a little different. The story is interspersed with glimpses into the world of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. What is most enjoyable us is that the historical references are not overdone….The use of the Arthur legend is more like the cherry on the cake….adding that little bit extra that makes the story so much more enjoyable….A superb original story that deserves an investment of time….and you will soon find yourself completely hooked!"

Tracy Farnsworth writes for Roundtable Reviews of Vermont (www.roundtablereviews.com) (excerpt), "Arturo el Rey ties very closely with the legend of King Arthur, but also matches it with the end of civilization themes found in Earth Abides and The Stand. I found myself totally enthralled with the storyline. Joan Upton Hall is onto something really fantastic with the debut novel in her Excaliber Regained series. I can't wait to see what happens next!"

Rita Porter writes for Scribe & Quill (www.scribequill.com) (excerpt), "The meld of characters works very well for this story, each complementing the other and bringing together….equal parts good and evil for the characters…. Their conversations flow with a rhythm that accounts for each separate voice. Joan Upton Hall has given the reader a book that…will quickly pull them deep into the lives of the characters as the different parts of the story begin to assemble like a puzzle. The inclusion of the past mixes well with the here and now and is easy to follow….A very nice mix of drama, adventure and fantasy with romantic touches,…Arturo el Rey hands the reader a multitude of aspects in one book."
