The nonlinear timeline was confusing, the characters weren’t all that interesting, and I found I didn’t care what happened after reading 80 pages.

I was disappointed with the book. It felt like a lot of exposition without but payoff. There was very little action and the switching between the past, present, and visions of the future make it hard to follow at times.

I'm a sucker for Arthurian stories, and this book is no exception. The author does such a good job of filling you with fear about the future, that you don't realize how integral the present and the past have been for these characters!
The story of Arthur will always be tragic, but in this retelling, Morgana, Gwen, and Elaine of Shalott take the story into their own hands, refusing to be the evil, treacherous, and passive versions they have been; even if that choice breaks their hearts.

I wanted to like this. But, I'm bored, I don't understand anything and I don't like anyone.
And maybe it's too soon to tell if the book is good or bad, but I just can't continue this, is like torture trying to pass the pages and I don't want to waste my time with something I know I won't like.
