I adore a good Arthurian legend and will be adding this book to my reading pile. Thanks for the comprehensive review.
A balanced life is a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other :wink:

I love this kind of genre (fantasy fiction), and I always enjoys reading them. I'm happy that despite it being a series book, it can be read as a stand alone book. Thanks for the review.

Ayn brings nature to life in this book, and it feels as though we can feel every part of nature around us as she unveils the world's hidden powers in such a way that souls connection is brought to light. She masterfully offers deep wisdom that awakens our memories, allowing us to revive our sleeping potential. The author expertly merges classic myths and tales into a story that reflects the wonder and enchantment we need to embrace in these ever-changing and hard times.

I can already feel the magic from this book. I love ancient religions expecially when mixed with supernatural elements and love. Awesome concept!

I enjoy fantasy books as a diversion from life's stresses. This one sounds promising since it includes King Arthur lore as well. Look forward to readings. Thanks for the enticing review.

I am not interested in this story, though Nina’s journey is intriguing. What really turned me off about this book was the mention of romance by the reviewer.

An amazing fantasy fiction novel "Nimue" by Ayn Cates Sullivan, which has a magical and spellbinding tale of intrigue and love. The story follows seventeen-year-old Nina and her mother who travel to England and life is very much different to them. The story appears very much intriguing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The cover has quite an epic supernatural effect. While I am not a fan of this genre, I appreciate the Celtic historical elements. Congratulations on book of the day!

Great review! I am a fan of Celtic times and legends so your review made me interested in reading this novel. I downloaded it and hope to enjoy it as soon as possible. King Arthur and Merlin were my childhood heroes...

Although I am a fan of reading on historical places and all, magic is just not my fort. So, I will have to pass on this one, though I am guessing Nina's story might be interesting. Anyways, thank you for the great review.

I rarely read Fantasy these days, but seems this will be the exception, as I love the stories surrounding King Arthur, Merlin, and co. In fact, my bf and I watched the Netflix series, Nimue, not too long ago and enjoyed it quite a bit. So I can't wait to delve into this, even though it's a different story... Thanks for the intro!

Wow! To be honest, I wasn't familiar with Legends of the Grail series, but simply reading how the third book is described in the review makes me hunger to get the whole series and lock myself at home until I devour them all! Thanks a lot for bringing the series to my attention and heartfelt congratulations on the BOTD!

I'm not opening a door to Celtic mythology; this is going on my do not read shelf. I don't want to know anymore about the old gods or goddesses, magic, etc. Done with that.

I do like the writing style, which paints characters and scenes so well.
