Goddess of Legend by P.C. Cast
3.0
I think that the novel started out really great. I have always read PCs books and its probably the same with every one of them. The writing is intense, until somewhere she must lose her train of thoughts and just blurt out what she is thinking.
The main character started out quite normal. But I think she was way too immature for her age as she entered Camelot. Other issues I found with it was that Mary was like... under 18, from what I remember. And... she got married. I thought that was so strange. Also, Arthur being in love so quickly? I doubt it. Especially Isabel herself - she still wasn't over that soldier from Afghan. In the first chapter, everything was about him. I do not understand how anyone can get over witnessing such a death in an instant of seeing someone no matter how attractive they were. Lastly on the negative list; I didn't believe that the reactions to how strange Isabel was, would be completely true... They would be more than confused.
What I loved about the novel however is the plot twist. PC always has a great plot twist, even if the writing is off-putting. The epilogue was amazing, seriously the cherry on the top.

Reading this makes me want to watch the movie again! So much more descriptions than I had expected though. Love it!
