3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but I Hated Guinivere Herself, 15 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Guinevere (Paperback)
It's interesting, I actually liked the book, although I couldn't stand Guinevere herself. She was kind of wimpy, with no real clue about the real world, and incredibly selfish. However, I actually enjoyed the book quite a bit, because of the characters surrounding Guinevere. I really liked Arthur, Mark and Guinevere's mother, among others. These people actually made it worth the read. Guinevere's obsession with herself and her unicorn became extremely obnoxious after a while, however. All the unicorn did, as far and I could tell, was put his head in Guin's lap and let her pet him. Oh, and complain a whole lot about not knowing other unicorns. Read this book for it's supporting characters, if you're willing to ignore an obnoxious heroine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mix of the Romantic and the Mythical, 11 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Guinevere (Paperback)
This is a great read for anyone who's into mythical legends. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Newman knows how to weave the Celtic myths together very well - the characters stayed with me after I finished reading this book. What is interesting is her exploration of the intimate relationship Guinevere has with her unicorn. This book is for all the romantics who enjoy the Arthurian legends.

2.0 out of 5 stars Characterization was not believable
I read this trilogy with high expectations, but was disappointed. The incorporation of almost every aspect of every legend was in places clever, but a bit too much of a stretch... Read more

When this book first appeared, all you could find for Arthuriana were riffs and rip-offs of Mists of Avalon or the Merlin trilogy. Read more
