Now an original series starring Katherine Langford on Netflix! 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 Knight 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.

"DNF @ page 100. <br/><br/>You know you’re having difficulties with a story when you read literally any book but that one. After avoiding this like the plague for a week or so, I finally have decided to stop reading this. <br/><br/>This would have been much better as either a graphic novel or the Netflix show. It was not suited for book format. <br/><br/>The characters WERE interesting and was the reason why I tried to push through this. I wasn’t a big fan of either the prose or the story. <br/> - The prose felt like a second draft. I’ve Beta-read novels anywhere from initial rough drafts to near final drafts, and this fell on the earlier end of the spectrum. <br/> - The story was the reason why I picked up this book. I had faith in the story all the way up until I lost motivation to read this. <br/><br/>I really didn’t like the illustrations. From what I can tell from the other reviews on this book, the artist was originally a comic book artist who did work on a Batman series. Great! The illustrations were not done very well. I thought the inking style was unique but only looked good on the cover. The colored pictures were weird. I don’t like this style since it seems very amateur."

"This is a terrific twist on a female version of King Arthur. This is an enchanting read for any middle school child. With a strong female protagonist, it's a fun read for young minds. Thanks to NetGalley for giving me an opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review. I look forward to seeing the Netflix show."
