I will say that this made me more interested in a subject that I thought I knew pretty well already. I actually think this is one of those rare times that this might be even better on audio because I believe hearing the words could be pretty magical.īecause this is a novella, I don’t want to go into too much and give any spoilers away by accident. This is not a light quick read that you want to fly through as you will miss too much. What I mean by that is it’s the kind of read you want to take your time with since there is a lot packed into the words that Griffith chose to write with. I do want to mention that this is a bit of a cerebral read. It did not seem rushed and it felt like Griffith got to really pack a lot into a shorter amount of pages. While this is novella length, I thought pace wise it worked very well. This is a novella staring a woman who wants to be “a knight of the round table” so she dresses herself as a man and goes off to prove that she belongs. While I have to be honest that I didn’t love this read, I still really appreciated it and found that it stuck with me and I kept thinking about it long after I finished reading it last week. Griffith writes stories that are compelling, with memorable characters (Aud, I still miss you), so I’m always interested to see what she will write about next. I also happen to be a fan of Griffith so this was a must read for me. If you follow my reviews, it will seem like a broken record how often I mention loving retellings, especially queer ones. A very interesting take on part of the King Arthur legend.
