Owen's missing builds tension in the plot. I feel I'm comfortable with such a plot. Congratulations!

a beautiful fantasy story with a long enough plot to keep you engaged. it’s good that it’s stand alone and doesn’t require reading other parts. it’s something i wish more authors would do

I've always been intrigued by Celtic themes and this book delves into Celtic and Arthurian legends. What I appreciate most about this fantasy fiction is that it can be read as a standalone despite being in a series. I can't wait to find out the connection between Nina, Owen and Merlin. Great review!

A novel based on historical mystery is always interesting. Bringing on Merlin character is a good one. I will like to read this book. Kudos to the reviewer.

It's very interesting to have Merlin and his sister Morgan in the midst of Nina's quest to find out more about herself. The novel sounds like a good read, having a mix of historical fiction, magic and romance. Thank you for the awesome review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I’m not currently interested in reading a series of books, so I think I will pass on this one for now.

Sounds like a nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat read. Lovers of Celtic and Arthurian legends with a twist of magical realism would have a swell time with this book. Thanks for the review.

This is a fantasy fiction story that takes place in America and England. Nina's father died and Nina and her mother travel to England to get away from their loss Nina learns that her friend Owen is missing. It seems that this is all connected with Merlin and his magic. One needs to read the book to find out. Very good review.

I’ve always loved Arthurian tales, including retellings. Modern ones are a little less my style but can still be fascinating, and I think this one sounds up my alley. The review says that Morgan is Merlin’s sister in this book, and that’s an angle I haven’t seen taken before, so it could be interesting. With “Nimue” in the title, I’m particularly intrigued. However, I’d rather read the first two books before jumping into this one. Thank you for the helpful review.

I feel like I've heard or read about Nimue before, I just can't remember where. Anyway, after reading the review, I feel like this is my cup of tea. I will definitely read this. It might increase my knowledge of Celtic folklore. lol. Thanks
