Just doing a short review today because my mind has been not at its best. But onto the book!
If you are looking for a relaxing read in an Arthurian setting then Of Crowns and Legends by Chelsea Banning could be worth picking up. Set years after King Arthur’s death this series focuses on his children, twins Anwil and Ariadne, as they come of age. They’ve never known their father and yet his legacy follows them everywhere.
I appreciate the fact that this series picks up the story again some time after Arthur’s death and navigate the political fallout from that time. But that doesn’t mean the main characters are missing! You still have Merlin, the Lady of the Lake, Sir Gawain and more actively making appearances in the story.
I admit I did struggle at points with the writing because it felt slow and you could tell the author was taking the time to set the scene. But there was a lot of worldbuilding to cover as we are expanding on the Arthurian universe – instead of doing another retelling. In the end, if you are a fan of anything related to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, its still worth the quick read.
