Could not finish. It just kept going on and on, I couldn’t get behind any of the characters, there was the random off-hand CSA, and to top it all off I learned the author was an abuser. X
I enjoyed [a:T.H. White|426944|T.H. White|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1246071532p2/426944.jpg]'s Arthurian stories, but somehow they seemed stilted. This is a much smoother story, and has a more genealogical feel to it. It reminds me of Biblical fiction, like [b:The Red Tent|4989|The Red Tent|Anita Diamant|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405739117s/4989.jpg|1041558] in that it follows the history of the family and expands from there.

Well......I googled the book bc I was confused on a plot point and found out the author is a terrible person.....ugh
Updated: I read this book before knowing the controversy behind MZB, if you don't know, she was found to be a perpetrator of child abuse, one the the children being her own daughter. We tell corporations, publisher, and people with power what we want or at least what we will accept by what we spend our money on. I removed my rating of this because I don't want to mislead other readers to purchase this book without further research. With the above knowledge, you can see the confusion and contradictions of her writing this book.
Original Review:
The Characters are well developed and deep with flaws and beauty all intertwined. I was pulled into it right away and stayed with it until I finished. A must read for anyone who likes Arthurian legend, witches, subtle magical systems, whispers of dragons, political strife, and women.

I first read this book in middle school. It was the first book to date that I had finished in 3 days. It's still one of my favorites.
