 | Title: Lionors: King Arthur's Uncrowned Queen Author: Barbara Ferry Johnson Publisher: Avon Pages: 291 Synopsis: (from the publisher) When she was thirteen, Lionors first saw Arthur. Little did she know the consequences of that meeting. The handsome young knight would be declared King of Britain, marry the beautiful Guinevere, and fall to the treachery of his court while Lionors, secretly married to him, would bear his child and wait for him to leave his palace to be at her side in fulfillment of the old prophecy: "You will be a queen, but you will die uncrowned and unknown." |
I was super psyched when I recently found this book. As I have stated before, I love books about side characters. And unlike Viviane or Galahad, who usually appear in retellings but only in small roles, Lisanor is pretty much all but forgotten. And here’s this book all about her! I couldn’t wait to finish Merlin’s Harp so I could start reading this book.
My feelings for Lionors went thus: In the beginning I was happy, in the middle I was bored and at the end I was really angry.
