Soon to be a Netflix original series!

The Lady of the Lake is the true hero in this cinematic twist on the tale of King Arthur created by Thomas Wheeler and legendary artist, producer, and director Frank Miller (300, Batman: The Dark Night Returns, Sin City). Featuring 8 full color and 30 black-and-white pieces of original artwork by Frank Miller.

Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.

But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?

Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave…

That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.

Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.

But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.

starting this now!

40%: (view spoiler)[TOTALLY forgot to write something down when I originally wanted to. So far, I'm really enjoying this! I can't believe this is becoming a tv show! Super excited! (hide spoiler)]

57%: (view spoiler)[oh shiit, that's right. put him in his place! (hide spoiler)]

90%: (view spoiler)[fkldsajfldsajdfla I'm biting my nails right now. Ugh, this book is so good! (hide spoiler)]

100%: (view spoiler)[ahhh so good! I really enjoyed the audobook! Now I can't wait for the tv show! I hope it's good :) (hide spoiler)]

3% This is much more Fantasy than I had anticipated but I’m really intrigued.

18% Such darkness in this story! I think I prefer it though, although I could probably do with a little less gore (really his hand?!). I also dig the Merlin is a new version that I have yet to see.

26% I'm hoping to finish this before the end of the week, with my drives to and from work.
(view spoiler)[ I like Arthur much more than I thought I was going to; there's a subtle loyalty there. I'll be curious if it goes into a romance like I suspect. Nimue's anger issues are a bit plaguing but it's mostly her angsty age and the fact that her mom's dead so I'm trying to keep that in perspective.
I just want them to get to Merlin. I feel like the story will really start moving at that point. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

55% chuggin right along with this storyline now! (view spoiler)[ Arthur leaving was not surprising. What I really loved was this didn’t turn into your typical “woe is me, I miss my love” moments. Nimue rallied and continued on her initial mission.

Totally did not see it coming that Merlin is her dad though!!! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

100% (view spoiler)[ that's how this finishes?! I fell robbed! this story had the potential to go in so many directions but instead it felt like they got to Nimue taking over the city and the authors were like "yea, I'm over this boo; just finish it." (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
