Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian
3.0
It's life, Elaine. Getting hurt, picking yourself up, trying again. You're so focused on the ending sometimes that I don't think you know how to appreciate the during.
my first meeting with any retelling of the Arthurian myths was a good one. to be fair i'm not too familiar with anything that involves the legend of King Arthur so as i was reading this book i was also watching lots of youtube videos about him.
i didn't have any high expectations about this book as it is a fantasy book and i'm not a huge fan but frankly, there is more that "historical fiction" than fantasy. the story is quite good, it was easy for me to get into it more as i read it more. i wasn't really expecting the end of the book but it wasn't disappointing.
from what i've learned the author has written the story a bit differently from what it originally is but i think that's what made it feel "better". it definitely made me wanna get into the Arthurian myths now.
