Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit (A Novel of King Arthur) Audiobook

" It took me a little while to get into this book, but by the time I got to the 3rd section I couldn't put it down! I loved the re-telling of the famous King Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot story, and for the first time in a long time actually sympathized with Guinevere (or Gwenhyfar, in this case). I highly recommend this book to other lovers of King Arthur legend! "

" I used to like Mercedes Lackey books so I picked this one up. There were times when I thought she was trying to hard to squeeze unnecessary bits of the legend into the story. Their irrelevance was distracting. The characters jargon-like telling of the story made it very difficult to get immersed into the story and characters. "

" Love this book if you like king arthur and merlin with a twist. also love lackey so much better than the last one of hers i read "

" The notion of three Gueneveres and the notion that this one is raised a warrior . . . all very interesting, but so much more could have been done. The final third of the book -- the bodice ripper, the fling with Lancelin -- was a bitter disappointment. I resorted to skimming. "

" Very interesting twist on the Aurthur legend. I actually enjoyed and was glad that all the familiar characters were still there. The end was very good. Enjoyable read! "

" Snooze. I liked the point of view from Gwen, and the tidbits that Arthur may have had three queen Qwenhwyfars, but overall it felt too candy-landish. It lacked the grittiness of some of her other books. The Enduring Flame trilogy was a much better read. "

" I always disliked Guinivere in the Arthurian tales. This book gives me a little more sympathy for her situation and provides an interesting suggestion for why she seems so wishy washy in some of the tales. "

" I don't like the Arthurian legends, but I thought this was fantastic. I have always HATED Guinevere, but I loved Gwenwhyfar! "

" It was very entertaining. Not my fav Lackey book, but the only major issue I had was the welsh spelling. It made things harder to roll with, but an overall interesting take on the legend. "

" It had me until the end. Sometimes, you just want a happy ending, darn it. "

" The story of Guinevere and Lancelot never came alive to me before this book "

" Cool interpretation of the Arthur story, with women as heroes. "

" I liked the author's post-comments and how she used actual historical information to create her story. "

" This fantasy was fun to read and fairly fast paced. "

" This was a new and interesting take on the King Arthur legend. I liked this Guinevere. "

" Newest from Mercedes Lackey, based on the Arthurian legends. This one has a nice twist to it. It was fun reading her take on each of the major events around the life of King Arthur. Very strong protagonist. Good fun. "

" I loved this book. It was a very interesting retelling of the King Arthur story from the point of view of Gwenhwyfar. "

" I really enjoyed this story. The manipulations and use of the "powers" creative an interesting storyline. "

" This was okay. It is sympathetic to Gwenhwyfar, not Arthur. So almost the entire book is taken up with her story. (It takes a lot to rehabilitate Gwen). Since I love Arthur, it was a bit much. But still okay, if a different slant on the Arthurian legends. "

" She almost managed it. She *almost* managed to write a strong female character who lived up to the title. If you ignore about 20 pages in the third act, you should be well pleased. "

" I will be fair and say that I do not know much about the Arthurian legend but this book was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought it took too long to get to the point of the story. There was a little too much build-up for Gwenhwfar for my taste. "

" An interesting take on Guinevere...if I share too much I'll give it all away. :o) "

" It started off really well and the plot premise etc LOOKED amazing...but the rest of the book was so disappointing. It just wasn't believable in any way and was written pretty boringly. "

" Snooze. I liked the point of view from Gwen, and the tidbits that Arthur may have had three queen Qwenhwyfars, but overall it felt too candy-landish. It lacked the grittiness of some of her other books. The Enduring Flame trilogy was a much better read. "

" i love arthurian legend. this one was really different. "

" Well-written, interesting, and intriguing right to the end. Even if it was nothing groundbreaking, it was still a good read and I recommend it. "
