Narrative During Books Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country (Guenevere #1)

Last in a line of proud queens elected to rule the fertile lands of the West, true owner of the legendary Round Table, guardian of the Great Goddess herself . . . a woman whose story has never been told -- until now.

Raised in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Country, Princess Guenevere has led a charmed and contented life -- until the sudden, violent death of her mother, Queen Maire, leaves the Summer Country teetering on the brink of anarchy. Only the miraculous arrival of Arthur, heir to the Pendragon dynasty, allows Guenevere to claim her mother's throne. Smitten by the bold, sensuous princess, Arthur offers to marry her and unite their territories, allowing her to continue to reign in her own right. Their love match creates the largest and most powerful kingdom in the Isles. Yet even the glories of Camelot are not safe from the shadows of evil and revenge. Arthur is reunited with his long-lost half-sisters, Morgause and Morgan, princesses torn from their mother and their ancestral right by Arthur's father, the brutal and unscrupulous King Uther. Both daughters will avenge their suffering, but it is Morgan who strikes the deadliest blows, using her enchantments to destroy all Guenevere holds dear and to force Arthur to betray his Queen.

In the chaos that follows, Arthur dispatches a new knight to Guenevere, the young French prince Lancelot, never knowing that Lancelot's passion for the Queen, and hers for him, may be the love that spells ruin for Camelot.

Column About Books Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country (Guenevere #1)

If I could give it half a star, I would.

I had this book for a long time on my TBR shelves but I finally read it during Plum's What to Read in Oct. which was folk and fairy tales. Actually I wasn't sure if the Arthur legends had any basis in reality so I googled it and found that historians don't know either; they can only tell you about how long the legend has been around and guess at its origins. Fascinating really as the legend is so popular and ubiquitous.So as to the book itself: Not bad. I did get sick of certain words like

Though I liked parts of it, it is an Arthurian legend after all, there is enough that bothers me about the book to stop me from continuing the series. Her writing style itself isnt bad, but most of the characters are just entirely too flat to care about. The crazies are just too crazy, the zealous too zealous, the pathetic too pathetic. It drove me crazy, she really pushes it out there too, like, it isnt just intricacies in their characters that make them a little annoying, but huge sweeping

I was severely disappointed with this book. When I started I was excited to read about the Arthurian legend from Guenevere's point of view, but Miles pushed it too far. Yes, Guenevere is supposed to be a strong, independent queen, but it was presented in the worst light possible. I'll go as far as saying Guenevere wasn't even presented as independent, merely as a naive young girl furiously wanting to be. Her desperation, prayers, continuous complaints, and intense mood swings almost pushed me

Wow, I hated this book. Now, I don't know TOO much about Arthurian legend, but I know enough to know what needs to be known, and from what I've learned I was intrigued by it. I thought this book would further propel me into the legend...I thought wrong.I found the characters to be disgusting. Merlin was portrayed as a crazy, sex-obsessed old man, and Arthur was portrayed as weak. Guenevere, however, was supposed to be thought of as perfect by us, from the way the author spoke about her. That's

When I read "Guenevere," I just completely fell in love with Rosalind Miles. She knows how to spin a tale. Her Guenevere trilogy has battles, kidnappings, secrets, deceit, hatred, death, redemption, passion, and the best kind of fairytale love. Miles takes her readers into the world she has created, and it is a wonderful experience! This honestly may be my favorite Arthurian retelling yet.

i think there are better Authurian legend books out there. This is a book about redemption & forgiveness set in the time of King Authur. The familiar characters are probably not portrayed as you expect. Merlin is a spiteful, vengeful, sex crazed old man. Not wise at all. So is he a Druid? A Christian? I'm not sure. Authur is a puppet of Merlin. He can't make a decision w/o him. And the knights & the rules of chivalry. Were the knights of this time really like this? I always pictured the
