So I really enjoy all of Theodora Goss's short stories I've read; I think she's a wonderful writer. There's nothing wrong with the writing in this novella, I just don't like such straight forward romances. I kept feeling like I was in a Nicholas Sparks novel, just better written with arthurian legends thrown in, which, admittedly, does make it better than your average romance. Also, this book needs a binding. I dropped it so many times! Beautiful illustrations though.

I'm still going to read anyt

Okay okay I 'll admit it. What drew me to this book was not the plot but the way the book was package. I know I know I should be ashamed

This book is charming to look at. The illustrations are beautiful. I however was not as charmed with story. This book is okay. I did like getting both of the chara

Not nearly as deep as I was hoping.

The format and premise are really promising... but while a decent book, it just doesn't quite live up to that promise.

I think I would have liked it even more if there wasn't (view spoiler)

I am a huge fan of Goss' work in general, and this is no exception.

A gorgeous story told from dual perspectives, containing some of my favourite imagery (Green Man, mostly). My only complaint is that I want more!
