The Lost Queen

I was really excited to read this book and I think I must have misunderstood what it was about. I thought it was a fantasy book that was going to be like an Arthurian legend type. It was actually historical fiction which I also like but at the same time I read it when I was in the mood for a particular type of book and it was not that.

That being said. I had not thought much about this part of history and it is actually interesting to think about the Christianization of Britan. However, the author has this story taking a very negative view of Christianity which is the author's prerogative and I don't actually mind reading critiques of Christianity but I don't particularly enjoy reading antiChristian content that is more focused on bashing. But again this could be a personal bias.

I just don't know if I enjoyed this book or not. I felt like it dragged on a bit and I also wanted to know what was happening. I didn't feel a strong connection to the main character and the story frustrated me at times as well. I also felt like relationships lacked depth which made the love triangle very hard to believe.

I haven't yet decided if I want to read the next book. If I do I think I will do it on audio book from the library if I can. It was a lot of energy to read the physical book and I would rather spend it on a book physical book that I really want to read the physical copy of.
