"The Lady of Shalott reclaims her story in this bold feminist reimagining of the Arthurian myth from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess. Everyone knows the legend. Of Arthur, destined to be a king. Of the beautiful Guinevere, who will betray him with his most loyal knight, Lancelot. Of the bitter sorceress, Morgana, who will turn against them all. But Elaine alone carries the burden of knowing what is to come--for Elaine of Shalott is cursed to see the future. On the mystical isle of Avalon, Elaine runs free and learns of the ancient prophecies surrounding her and her friends--countless possibilities, almost all of them tragic. When their future comes to claim them, Elaine, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Morgana accompany Arthur to take his throne in stifling Camelot, where magic is outlawed, the rules of society chain them, and enemies are everywhere. Yet the most dangerous threats may come from within their own circle. As visions are fulfilled and an inevitable fate closes in, Elaine must decide how far she will go to change fate--and what she is willing to sacrifice along the way"--… (plus d'informations)

I overall thought this was fun take and unique look at the camelot myth. It was a really fun and unique look at the characters in the Camelot world. I really loved the wiring style of this read and it had a very lyrical writing style that captured me. the one element of this read that I sort of struggled with was the time frame and the time line could be a bit confusing but it still was engaging read. I found the book to also deal with harder topics like sucied and depression and was a strong focus of the read! I def want to read more by this author in the future it was a really unique look at the camelot myth. ( )

I'll write a longer review later but first of all, don't be tricked by the "feminist retelling" marketing. It isn't feminist. ( )

Interesting retelling, dark and magical with the love of friends throughout. Sudden 'ending that felt rushed and left many questions ( )

TW/CW: Suicide, talk of sexual situations, fantasy violence, talk of incest

RATING: 3/5

REVIEW: Half Sick of Shadows is the story of Elaine, the Lady of Shalott, and her connections to King Arthur, Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot. It is a feminist retelling of the traditional myth.

I really wanted to like this book. I love Arthurian legend and I love fantasy, so this seemed like the perfect book for me. But this book took me forever to get through, and I had to push myself not to DNF it. There’s nothing that stands out as being wrong with it, except that it’s just, well, boring. It’s always bouncing from the past to the present and then the future and never giving us enough of anything to actually connect to it. I loved the idea, but it just didn’t work for me in the end.
