I enjoyed this very much. The illustrations were awesome and a great addition to the story. I appreciated seeing characters in a new story. Even having watched the series before reading the book, the novel felt interesting and engaging.

Starting this today, sitting outside in the sun with some lovely iced tea. Can‘t beat it.

Arthurian Legend centred around a teenaged girl chosen by the sword.

This book reads like a novelized TV script mash-up of Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Throne of Glass. Very very YA.

Not one single character is interesting; they all follow the inevitable YA and epic fantasy tropes. It was a boring read and I eventually bailed at 42%.

#ARC for #NetGalleyDEChallenge2020

The first mini-challenge is to talk about books - erm, that's what we do here and several places else.

What's your favourite Arthurian Legend version?

TheAromaofBooks I have a very soft spot for Gerald Morris's Squire's Tales. 4y

It was fun adventure and twist on the story that we know so well. I kept going back and forth on liking the MC. Arthur fell flat to me. Merlin was the most interesting since he was very flawed. The first half of the book felt so slow, then around 200pgs it picked up! Towards the end, it was mass chaos with many things happening at once so the pacing was a little off to me. Love the illustrations tho! #bookaweekchallenge #ya #fantasy #bookclub

So good. This story has been told and retold so many times, but this retelling was so interesting and compelling. Nimue, queen of the Fey, wielded of the Sword of Power, is a powerful force and not merely a sidekick to Arthur. I hope there are plans for additional books in a series. I loved it.

This book fell a little flat from what I was expecting. It held my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat for the most part. I just felt like it would be more. Nimue was kick ass and didn‘t play games at all. This is going to be a Netflix series and I am curious about it. This will probably be my last book read of the year. This is my 9th completed book in the #24b42020 readathon.

TheSpineView I was disappointed with this too. 5y

@TheSpineView you probably already know but I got this in last week. Sorry for my delay in posting. I look forward to reading it.

TheSpineView Awesome! Hope you enjoy!😊 5y
alisiakae Hey, noticed you‘ve been gone for a week. I hope it‘s just a social media break and everything is okay. 💙💜 5y
LibrarianRyan @4thhouseontheleft I am OKAY! My parents live on a Nature Preserve in sourrounded by farm fields, AKA the land that cell service forgot. And the internet is shotty. I can sometimes read feeds but rarely do pictures show up, and 1/2 the time my reply get lost. Plus y nephews who were suppose to be here for 2 days, stayed for 6 and they have been with me most of it. So busy busy busy. 5y

Let's just say I was underwhelmed. The plot had the potential for a great read. However, the characters fell short. Especially the MC who was I expecting to be a strong female heroine, A Joan of Arc for example. Totally didn't get that! Sigh... 3.5 ⭐

TheSpineView Disclaimer: I received an Arc at BookExpo in exchange for my honest review. 5y
LibrarianRyan bummer. It always worries me a bit when you know about the show before the book. The show isn't out yet, but i find few titles that sell the movie rights before the book comes out to be not worth the read. That is what has kept me from buying this book. 5y
TheSpineView @LibrarianRyan Don't waste your money. But if you are still curious and want to read it, I will be happy to send you my copy. 5y

TheSpineView @LibrarianRyan I'm sure. I'll never read it again. I can't remember if I still have your mailing address so if you would please shoot me an email at lisa@thespineview.com I will get the book right out to you. 5y
LibrarianRyan @TheSpineView Done. Thanks. 5y
TheSpineView @LibrarianRyan Got it! You're welcome! 5y

The characters are hollow, the plot predictable, and the violence puerile; that‘s not to say wielding this book isn‘t a fiercely good time for Arthur fans and teen readers.
