This is a story based on Arthurian Mythology.... and I had really hoped it would have worked out better. I read The Boneless Mercies and enjoyed it enough and was looking forward to reading this one but somehow it just didn’t work as well for me as the previous book. It started out fine but the pacing just wasn’t working for me and I couldn’t find myself connecting with most of the characters or particularly caring for their quest all that much. The main quest of the journey is for the protagonist to rescue her sister yet the story took a very sluggish pasts with so many mini stories interlaced. I just could not connect with the characters by the end of the book and the retelling was not really that much of a retelling. There was no real emotional connection to the characters or that much character input. Sadly I just did not enjoy this book as much as I would have liked.
