I have yet to read a book by McKillip that I haven't liked. This one is no exception. It's a fun, alternative universe-urban fantasy retelling of the search for the Holy Grail, mixing motorcycles and cell phones with kings, knights, and sorceresses. And there's a lot of seafood! The book has the usual excellent prose and lifelike characters I've come to expect from McKillip. If I knew more Arthurian legend, I could say which of these characters represented which of the Arthurian knights and sorceresses. But even not knowing all that, I still found the book very enjoyable. It won the 2017 Mythopoeic Award.
