I ate this book up. It went by much faster than the first. I did want Gwen to stfu the entire time, but it made me want to read more to see what other hypocritical shit she would say/do

It's too long ago that I read/listened to this book. I remember being frustrated with this and the first and last volume. The main frustration here was how they decided to handle Guinevere, who is always difficult to write well. Zimmer Bradley decided instead of her being an adulteress as her defining characteristic, she would instead be a hypocrite and a religious zealot. Also, Kevin the Bard; I'm not putting up with that nonsense. Pick a more believable name.

Have I ever despised a character as much as I despise Gwenhwyfar?
I honestly don’t think I have.

Reread

Did not realize when I read this series (presented as one book in Audible) that the author was accused of the child sexual abuse of her own daughter and was married to a pedophile that went to jail. Fucking disgusting. I'm glad she's dead.

That said, this was still a terrible series that dragged on and on and on and on. I read this because I needed an audiobook with a soothing narrator to fall asleep to at night. And boy, did I ever fall asleep. Usually, each night, I go back in the recording to the point where I fell asleep the night before and re-start from there. But this series was SO BORING that would've taken me years. It was so one-note all the way through. Feminist retelling of Authurian legend, my ass. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I am only rating this book (and admitting to reading it) so I can do my part to bring down the overall average rating and warn off would-be readers.
