I found this book in my house, and decided to give it a read.
It's a retelling of the Arthurian legend from the women's perspective, or rather, the woman's perspective, that woman being Morgaine, Arthur's sister. She's still a sorceress (sort of), but not the evil witch bent on destroying Arthur with a number of wily shcemes that would put any coyote to shame.
I was impressed. The characters were very well developed (which they should have been, given the space the author had to do so), to the point where you could hate, and I mean actually hate, some of the characters, but you know why the act the way they do so you can't really hate them. If you've read any classic telling of the Arthurian legend, you'll appreciate the depth of many of the characters. Some are as likable as others are despicable.
This book made me want to visit Britain and check out all the places in the book. |
