![]() ![]() When I started reading this I didn’t know who our main character was supposed to be. And picking up her backlist works! Her prose is beautiful, and I love how she took Arthurian legend and made it genderbent and queer.Īdmittedly I am not all too familiar with the Arthurian cannon. I hadn’t read anything by this author before, but now I will definitely be looking forward to more from her. You all know I love a good retelling right? So obviously when TorDotCom asked me to review Spear by Nicola Griffith, I couldn’t say no. And she will find her love, and the lake, and her fate. ![]() ![]() On her adventures she will meet great knights and steal the hearts of beautiful women. She grows up in the wild, in a cave with her mother, but visions of a faraway lake come to her on the spring breeze, and when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she knows that her future lies at his court.Īnd so, brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she breaks her covenant with her mother and, with a broken hunting spear and mended armour, rides on a bony gelding to Caer Leon. The girl knows she has a destiny before she even knows her name. ![]()
