I loved the twist to this story that the lady of the lake is the wielder of Excalibur and the 'savior of the fey' instead of Arthur. But holy cow did this have a lot of problems in it. In places the story was bland. It was choppy and sometimes hard to follow. The art was a fun addition but most of it was hard to see or understand what you were looking at. But then their were parts that were great. I loved the character of Nimue I loved that she did everything in her power to save her people. Overall it was mediocre at best.
3.5 stars
I really wanted to love this one, but I just didn't connect with the characters or the story, and I felt like they were trying to hard to push the Arthurian Legends aspect of the story, when this would have been wonderful with its own mythos creation.

An action-packed, female-led remix of Arthurian legend that satisfied my teenaged loved of female badasses.
Another book with below meh writing idk I don't have high tolerance for it rn
I watched the first episode of the show in hopes it would make me more interested (finished the chapters relevant for the first ep) but the episode is somehow worse so that's another drop sorrrry

I really did not like this book. What i expected was a feminist retelling of the Arthurian legends, but what i got was a confusing mess. None of the magic system is explained, which is sometimes important to understand. The constant switching of POVs was also jarring, and it didn't expand the world or advance the plot. there were too many characters being introduced at once and it often felt like the author just wanted to include as many well know characters as possible. If there were only 2 or 3 POVs that showed different perspectives of the same event, or characters in very different places, it would be interesting and would make more sense, but as it was the POV characters were all over the place and did not make sense.

A great take on Arthurian mythology, but where the hell is the rest of the story??
