I always thought that Mary Stewart's Merlin was the best retelling of the Arthurian saga but this book is surely a runner up.
It's atmospheric, enthralling and wonderfully written. Everything that was already told is new because there's a different way of looking at it.
I loved every page and was sad when the book was over. A wonderful travel in a landscape you thought you knew but that seems to be completely different.
Highly recommended.
Many thaks to Random House and Netgalley for this ARC
