Another Entertaining Historical Novel

Another entertaining historical by Sharan Newman. Sharan sets her novels in historically accurate settings and her characters are lively, strong, and engaging. Excellent reading and you learn a little history in the process.

Great book! Read all 3

Guinevere is a great book. I read it in a day. I couldn't put it down. Sharan Newman's use of descriptive words had me feeling like I was living in that era. I read the second book "The Chessboard Queen" when I was younger. It was refreshing to be able to read about Guinevere's childhood. Please read all 3 books. I am about to begin on the third.

Capturing Trilogy!

I would definitely recommend Sharan Newman's "Guinevere Trilogy" to anyone. Having little background in Arthurian legend did not stop me from becoming thoroughly engrossed in the characters in this series. I read all three books in a matter of three and a half days! Newman develops the characters very well and creates a connection between the reader and the people in the books.

A Mix of the Romantic and the Mythical

This is a great read for anyone who's into mythical legends. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Newman knows how to weave the Celtic myths together very well - the characters stayed with me after I finished reading this book. What is interesting is her exploration of the intimate relationship Guinevere has with her unicorn. This book is for all the romantics who enjoy the Arthurian legends.
