Paavni Jain wrote: 23 Nov 2023, 05:01 Overall, the book seems to appeal to readers who are interested in wise, intelligent, and imaginative literature, as well as in Celtic mythology and Arthurian legend. The book might not be suitable for readers who prefer action-packed, fast-paced, or realistic stories, or who are not fond of romance or spirituality. The book is a creative and original interpretation of the Nimue-Merlin relationship, and a thought-provoking exploration of the human potential and the natural world.
You're absolutely correct. I was attracted to this book because it had a lot to do with the Arthurian legend. It was a wonderful journey through time back to when magic was a thing.

Well I must confess, I only read the book due to the hype I got from other readers. The private blurb made a huge contribution too. And I wasn't disappointed one bit. Perfect 5/5 for me.

I just completed reading the first part of the book, and I've been enjoying it all so far. The world building is really strong, and the characters are well-rounded and relatable. I like Ayn Cates Sullivan's descriptions and think her language is quite understandable.

In my assessment, the greatest lesson from the book seems to be the importance of self-discovery and the transformative power of embracing one's true identity and purpose. And yes, it's worth recommending this book to folks who enjoy mythology, time-traveling adventures, and stories that blend mysticism and folklore.

I love everything about this book. It contains legendary stories, mystery, and romance. The cover didn't match the contents of the story but that didn't affect my rating for the book. The writing style was great because the author, Ayn wrote it in a way that is easy to read and understand.

This book is great, and I felt like I was part of Nina's journey to uncover her actual nature. There is a hidden message about understanding oneself on a deeper level and how joyful it must be to discover your purpose in life, which is something I can't stop thinking about.

The storyline is good and interesting but then it has a dark cover page. I would give it a four star.

Post by Francis Omotayo Aderogbin »

The book presents an intriguing and well-rounded story, with a writing style that complements the theme of ancient writings. Overall, it offers an above-average reading experience. In many instances, I found myself deeply immersed in the narrative and the characters' emotions, losing track of time around me.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.
