Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.The Book of Gaheris: An Arthurian Tale by Kari Sperring. A Library Thing Early Review
I know the “basic” legends of Camelot so I was looking forward to delving a little deeper into some supporting characters and I’m glad I got that opportunity. The writing is sound but the similarity of the names, flipping to the use of pet names and the various parts told from three points of view disrupted the flow for me. I do understand that all three areas concerned one character, but because the stories slid into each other without a clear division between narrators, I felt lost and frustrated at each junction. Clearly, the author is far more knowledgeable about the Arthurian cast than most.… (altro)

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.A well-crafted collection of Sperring’s Arthurian novellas focussing on Gaheris of Orkney and his relationship with his brothers and their interactions with the Pellinore family.
Very much to my taste, the novellas focus on the psychology rather than the more familiar High Victorian melodrama. I am reminded of Phyllis Ann Karr’s Idylls of the Queen.
This collection fills out the earlier novellas Rose Knot and Serpent Rose and adds additional material making more of a seamless story.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received a free copy of this book as an Early Reviewer on Library Things and this is my honest review.
I really liked the idea of this book, telling the stories of King Arthurs four nephews. Whilst the ideas of the story were good, I found that switching between the characters too often, disrupted the flow of the stories. There was a lot of descriptions of talking and not much "showing" of what was happening. My attention lagged a few times, and it was an effort to finish.
All praise to the author who has a great imagination and stories to tell, the way they are told just need a little polishing. There is great potential here.… (altro)

Things fell apart around the time Aude came to Brass City and her quest went from being about fulfilling the promise of Marcellan's quest to some quasi-social reform for the impoverished. And then it got really weird when she became separated from Jehan.
Nothing worked for me after that. Not Aude's obsessive need to find out the truth, not Jehan's certainty that he should have refused Aude to save her from herself and definitely not what was really going on with Aude's family.… (altro)
