I first read this book when I was in my early teens and though it has been many years since I have read it, I safely say this is one of the few books that has resonated with me and even changed my life.

I know this is a much beloved book, but I didn't connect with it. I typically get caught up in character stories and I think my struggle with this was that I frequently didn't feel sympathy for mkst of the characters or at least not for any length of time.
slow-paced
I ended up skimming the last 1/4 because I was so ready to be done.
The tales of King Arthur told from the female perspective. A fabulous book (provided you enjoy fantasy).
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.
