Welcome to Litsy!

I have finished these three books so far since the beginning of the #awesomeapril #readathon. I‘m so proud of myself. I have thoroughly enjoyed these three audiobooks, and I really like the stained glass style of the three covers. The cover art for this series is absolutely brilliant.

I forgot so much of this book. I‘m not sure why. Possibly because I inhaled it the first time through. I love these books even more as audiobooks. I‘m happy to now know the correct pronunciation of teulu, too.

@Texreader this word appears much more in the Gareth and Gwen series, but either way, I‘ve been reading this word ALL wrong. For some reason I was reading this as something along the lines of too-loo. It‘s actually tay-loo. Now that I‘m looking at it again, that makes sense, but SO wrong. This audiobook is fun in that you get to hear the welsh pronunciation of Arthur. It almost sounds like it ends with a D thanks to the rolled R.

The last audiobook was so good, I immediately began this one last night. I actually managed to stay awake in a more normal schedule, staying up to listen to Tom Mumford tell this story brilliantly until 2 am.

I greatly enjoyed the continuation of this series. I absolutely love Rhys. It‘s about bloody time Rhys and Catrin got married (I actually kind of expected it to happen between the two books, but they‘re both hard headed so it took a bit longer). I liked that it explored how the English entirely coopted the Arthur legends, making them into something entirely different. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

CADWALADR IS A BLOODY WEE GIT!!!
Of course, she‘s referring to the treacherous Cadwaladr ap Gruffydd who is a pain in everyone‘s back side in the Gareth and Gwen series, most especially after he accidentally kills his nephew thinking he‘s his father (Cadwaladr‘s older brother and King). I‘m slightly pleased that bards are singing of his treachery!!!

Well, it‘s about bloody time these two got their crap together and realised they‘ve loved each other since they were kids.

I think it‘s fair to say this is true of all conquering peoples, but English have certainly been egregious about this with the Celtic peoples. First Wales, then Ireland, then Scotland. They were all “lesser” people, often referred to as “barbarians” or similar. All three languages were very nearly eradicated. I‘m not going to lie, I take that personally.

This name. I‘m not going to lie. I like it. It just looks impressive.

Wow, she pretty much spelled it out right there. Let the cultural appropriation games begin!!! Eddie is trying to portray himself to the Welsh he has just conquered as Arthur returned (as legend says he will). Never mind the fact that he‘s totally botching it and anglicising it.
