The Seven Endless Forests by April Genevieve Tucholke
challenging
slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.0
This had a classic whimsical feel to it, staying true to the heart of King Arthur's tale in that sense, and with a lovely world presented to us by Tucholke.
There was a major issue though.
Pacing.
I found myself absolutely dragging my heels at the thought of the plot barely moving in the pages I read. Admittedly it picks up, but for me that didn't happen until 70% in and it felt like a 'too little too late' situation at that point.
I would recommend this to fans of King Arthur and those who enjoy retellings as long as they don't mind the slow pacing.
3/5 cups of coffee from me, thank you so much to NetGalley and the Publisher for an eARC to read in exchange for my honest review.
