Book Reviews of Queen of the Summer Country (Guenevere)
Book Review: Disappointing, limp romance.
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book very disappointing in its treatment of the Arthurian legend. Whilst promising to be a fresh treatment looking at it from the viewpoint of Guenevere who is often a shadowy figure in the tale, she is never truly realised as a character. I had hoped for a strong and wilful woman who took command of her own destiny, within the constraints of the legend. However, she is more driven than driving and spends too much time staring tearfully into the distance. Her adulterous romance with Lancelot, long anticipated in the book, was strangely unconvincing; her reunion with Arthur even more so. Less gazing at the white towers of Camelot and more taking the action to herself would have gone a long way to relieve this over-long and in the end rather tedious book.
