I didn't read these books until I was an adult, but I know I would have loved to read them as a child. I found the sequence after I'd read the fourth Harry Potter book. It was recommended as a series to read between the publications of books 4 and 5. If you like Arthurian legends and British mythology, I don't think this series will disappoint. I would have liked the navigation to be better, but using the search feature in my book reader compensates very well for that.
