A review by ladyethyme
The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart
1.0
Eh. First 3 books were SO much better.
Though I like the idea of a book from Mordred’s point of view-the characters are flat and generally unlikable. There is no character growth, arcs, or progression.
The baddies are evil ‘because’. There are no good guys unless you’re referring to Arthur alone, who barely is in the book at all. Merlin is rarely mentioned but not actually in it either.
Women are either stupid, evil, or irrelevant-and besides Morgeuse, there aren’t any given any decent screen time anyway.
The whole book is ‘hey, this person is a liar, murderer and manipulator. Let’s believe them on this new point”. It’s beyond frustrating.
I loathe Morgeuse. Why ppl let her manipulate them I don’t understand at all.
She’s a faker, a poor actress, an arrogant, lazy, and hateful poisoner and murderess.
But apparently ‘she’s hot’ sooooo…that’s how she overpowers people?
