It's a re-telling of the Arthurian saga from the eyes of Nimue aka the Lady of the Lake. I wouldn't suggest it to younger readers due to the amount of death and the amount of detail that's put into describing such deaths. It's a good story and has some twists to it.

Good story line, but too violent for my sensitive ass.

The pacing was off, the dialogue and writing was clunky, the flashbacks had no indication they were flashbacks and were jarring, the illustrations were sketch-like and difficult to understand what was being depicted.

The more Arthurian stories I read, the more I'm starting to think that it's just not my jam (I've got a few more on my TBR pile, so we'll see if that continues to bear out). On paper, this seemed like it should have been right up alley. "Why yes, I would love to learn more about the Lady of the Lake. She seems super fascinating." But ultimately, this was just kinda meh for me. I didn't find anything done in this world to be particularly interesting or groundbreaking and there was a lot prequel-itis in the name of "oh hey, here's this character you're familiar with, we're going to introduce them in a surprising way that'll make you go 'What?'" It was just a bit a slog for me and I never got fully invested in the characters or the story.
