A review by courtsbooknook
Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson

2.0

I'm honestly not even sure why I kept reading rather than DNFing. This was so character heavy with minimal plot and so many of the characters were unlikeable. This is definitely reflective of the time period and there were a lot of harsh references towards the Jews which made me uncomfortable. It was way too long and drawn out and I don't understand why the story went on for almost 600 pages. It took me forever to get into it and there were only a few points in the story where I was actually inclined to keep reading. It was slow, drawn out, misogynistic, and generally boring. I usually love a retelling, especially a longer one but this was repetitive and unexciting.
