This is an incredibly detailed piece of Arthurian fantasy. Well researched and written, hitting the points from the view of the women often ignored. Just couldn't get over the moments with Uther, Know it occurred in the myths, just the language made it seem a wanted when everyone is gaslighting her.

This one didn’t work for me. I made it to ch 12/ 59% but I just couldn’t go on. It’s much too tedious and so slow.
The narrator was lovely though.

Thank you to Netgalley, Diversion Books and Sam Davey for the free copy to review !

I was really excited about this book as I am a fan of historical retellings. However, I feel like this book promised a lot of things it didn’t deliver.

Sam’s writing wasn’t the problem, it’s one I actually find lovely but sometimes it just felt like it was dragging on. A lot of descriptions and not enough plot focus in my opinion. This book will definitely be enjoyed by other people, it just wasn’t for me.

The narrator did an amazing job though !
