Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country by Rosalind Miles

2.0

I really appreciated the perspective of Guenevere coming from a long line of strong, warrior queens from the Summer County. However, Guenevere didn't live up to her heritage and seemed weak and wishy-washy to me. Being able to hear her thoughts, as she went back and forth between loving Arthur and later Lancelot, only strengthens the wishy-washy aspect to her character. Also, random sexual scenes didn't really add to the progress of the novel and seemed unnecessary. The 'bad' characters were bad from the beginning (Merlin and Morgan) with little hope of character growth or development. Finishing the book was a toil and I'm definitely not interested in reading the other two books in the trilogy. MISTS OF AVALON is still my favorite take on Arthurian legend and I'd recommend that over this version.
