Title: Tell me a story not an agenda......
Review: I rarely every stop reading a book. I slog through them because I feel committed. This book made me want to not only stop reading but give up on fantasy. I've read the Arthurian Legends in their many incarnations and wanted a feminine point of view. The story could never get through the agenda of how terrible Christians were. When in the beginning nuns were discribed as the "slaves" of priests I knew it was going to be bad. The reality was that the convent was female world where women promoted learning and controlled their lives, especially in remote parts of Britain. Then there were the historical inacuracies. When reading a blending of history and fantasy I give a lot of room for playing with facts, but some were so bad they made me scream. It made Dan Brown look like a rigid, fact geek.
Is the review positive or negative?
