Critic reviews

“Exquisite, lyrical, powerful, and haunting... A heroine for the ages. Gwendolyn of Cornwall’s epic journey from the Golden Child of Prophecy to that of a warrior and defender of her people will remain in your heart long after you finish the last page.” — Kimberly Cates, USA Today Bestselling Author

The ending was so beautiful! It made me cry so hard.

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful book. It’s been so long since I really connected with a novel like this. The love story was so refreshing and touched me deeply. I cried so much in the last chapters. What a beautiful ending and story.

Wonderful Story

I loved everything about this series. Crosby weaves an intricate tale of family, love, honor and duty into a wonderful, and entertaining tale. I highly recommend! It won't disappoint.

Outstanding!

I loved and respected Gwendolyn from the beginning. She was a true queen born and breed to lead.

Wonderful Narrator

I loved this series and couldn’t stop listening until the satisfying end. I’d love to see this world brought to like in film - utterly cinematic!

Both long winded and rushed, a hodge podge of half-baked ideas

The writing for this one felt more childish than the others. Maybe that's not the right word but it felt like I was inside a 13year Olds brain as she tries to navigate an Alice in wonderland-esqueci experience for 10+ chapters. It was too much! It got boring, and made me get extremely annoyed by Gwendolyn and her child-like inner monologue. It was so slow and drawn out, then you get to the end and everything is super rushed. It wasn't satisfying in the least and felt like significantly lower quality than the other books. I honestly wish I'd just read the last chapter because it was enough to get everything that happened in the entire book without having wasted 6hours of my life on it. The merging of druids and king Arthur legends and Greek myths and elves and humans in Brittania, it was just too much and none of it properly developed so they felt half baked. Don't recommend.
