I love the idea of Arthur and Nimue but could not get into this book.

The story was dry, with inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story (like Mom, Mother, Diana ... pick a name for the mother, please!). 

I couldn't connect with Nina, the main character, as she felt one-dimensional. 

It's obvious the author knows a lot about Arthurian Legends, Celtic mythology and Merlin ... but for the most part, it felt like I was reading a textbook with someone's journal loosely slapped on top of it.

Great possibility, poor execution.

For fans of The Hunger Games, this book will be great. It's got a fight to the death (though this time it's her birth father kidnapping her and volunteering her to fight) and even a possible crush in there. But I didn't like The Hunger Games. I thought it was boring. Unfortunately, minus the addition of magic, this book is very similar. I just can't get into it.
