Publishers Weekly review of Daughter of  Camelot

Any one brave enough to tackle such a well-known legend deserves applauded but
Cooney deserves special acclaim for this novel that bolsters and adds to the
already glorious fable. Also as it doesn't directly follow King Arthur but
instead some-one in his various courts it doesn't feel too familiar.

 from Just this Teenager 

“Deirdre is everything I like in a protagonist. She's bored and down-right aggravated by the limitations of being a girl in those times. She has little interest in being just a wife or mother and her ambition knows no bounds. She seeks a life of excitement and meaning and growing up surrounded by boys in training to be knights at a nearby fort only makes her desire for adventure stronger.”  
Lipsy Lost and Found did a terrific write up with a title we absolutely love: Chastity and Chainmail.

“Hail And Well Met! I really enjoyed this novel and consider it a worthy read.”

You may want to be careful with this review.  He critiques writing (and took me to task over some choices!) and is pretty liberal with details from the book.  There is a spoiler alert on this Daughter of Camelot review
