When I first heard about Camelot Burning, I was really intrigued. A steampunk re-telling of King Arthur is definitely different and unique, and I really like the idea of steampunk and magic colliding. I didn't like it as much as I was expecting, but it did more interesting in the last chapter or two. 
 I think my biggest issue is that I felt like I knew nothing about this Camelot and what it looked like. Camelot is barely described, and even though Arthur and Guinevere and Lancelot and crew are figures I know, but I feel like I didn't really get to know any of them at all. I did feel like I knew a little bit about the world, but even though, it didn't feel like much. In comparison to what else we know about about the characters and Camelot, however, it felt like a lot. 
 I couldn't tell you anything about what Camelot looks like, and I couldn't tell you anything about the characters. But I like that Merlin turned away from magic to mechanical arts and had an apprentice or two. I liked that there were protection spells for Camelot and I liked how the Holy Grail and Avalon were incorporated. 
 I was slightly disappointed that I truly didn't get interested until the last chapter or two. It was a hard book to get through, and I think a lot of it is because there's no description, which made it hard to picture everything, especially the really cool inventions we saw throughout the book. 
 I also couldn't get into the romance. I just didn't care about Vivienne or Marcus, and I didn't particularly if they had their own obstacles to overcome. 
 Let's Rate It: I LOVE the idea of a steampunk version of King Arthur, but Camelot Burning was a hard book to get into. I felt like everything could have been described so much better, because I felt like I didn't get to know the characters and I feel like I didn't really get to know Camelot as a place. Camelot Burning turned out to be a book that isn't my cup of tea, but I may be interested enough to keep reading the rest of the series. Camelot Burning gets 2 stars.
