The Telling Pool | 
panThis book was all over the place. I picked it up because it seemed like it was going to be based on Arthurian legend. Which it kind of... was, but not well done. The writing was bad with lots of telling not showing, and as a handful of obvious typos (as far as I'm aware "plashed" isn't a word). The author also interjected several speeches that seemed like the book was actively trying to convert Christians to Wiccian, using arguments targeted...
dysprosium2 ...toward a childlike understanding of the world. So that felt a bit insidious. It should at least have been advocating for the faith of the druids, if it was going to be consistent with Arthurian legend. There were, like, 7 twists in the last 2 chapters, none of which made any sense. And the main character often acted irrationally, stupidly, and with blind trust where it made no sense. Do not recommend. 2y
Bookwomble A "plash" is a small puddle, and "to plash" is to dabble about in puddles, or to lightly splash around ? 2y
