pickWhile still good, the 3rd book in The Lost Queen Series, I didn't find as good as the first two. The Shadowed Land took us on a journey with Angharad, as she continues to develop as a Wisdom Keeper, and Artur, who follows in his father's footsteps. Languoreth and Lailoken still are prominent in the book. This one wasn't as long as the other two, either. I reread the first two books, since it had been a few years since I read them, before I ⬇️
pickTake every Arthurian myth in one, blend it with the grit and grim of Trainspotting and Fight Club, strip away all notions of chivalry and romance, add a hefty dose of otherworldly-ness and you might find yourself inside this novel. It's certainly unlike any take on King Arthur I've read before. If you're looking for a raw remixed retelling of an ancient tale this should be on your list, but if you're an Arthurian purist, this may not be for you.
Found twenty-one words in The Sword in the Stone.

Enjoy!
pickThis volume is just as good as the first one. In this one, Duncan is still fighting monsters, very famous ones. While he is doing that, Merlin is helping the evil skeleton to find the items needed to destroy the while. Poor Galahad is changed and not for the better. Graphics are awesome and great story. Very bloody and violent. Looking forward to reading the rest in the series.
pickAbsolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew

Even worse score than last week. Only 4 lists to go, thank God! 🤣
Favorites:
√THINGS FALL APART
√THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING (which should count as 4 books, IMHO).
√TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
When reading this series, you can tell Pike put in a lot of hardwork and a lot of time doing research. She gives you a chance to travel back to 540 to 584 Scotland. My TBR grew also, because she listed some books in her note I would like to read concerning Artur.
😊 Happy Reading 😊
