This was a heck of an adventure. I felt like I was on a roller coaster going between realms. I often found myself wondering what it would be like to travel between realms like they did to take things. Sounds like a bit of an adrenaline rush. It is an entertaining plot that did a very nice job of grabbing my hand and dragging me into the story. I didn't want to leave. You just want to keep going to find out what the next page brings. The characters are well written and very relatable. You can empathize with their struggles. I loved the story and hope to read more of this series. Get out there and buy this story too. You'll want to read it. I guarantee it. Highly recommend.… (mehr)

I Loved Woven, Bree Moore has taken an old legend that we all know and love and put her own fresh twist on it.
It was just so easy to lose yourself in the vivid history that was portrayed between these pages.
So Woven, of course, tells the story of that famous love triangle between Guinevere, Arthur and Lancelot.
Except, in this case, Guinevere seems to be suffering from multiple personality disorder.
She hears voices and the main one seems to occur whenever she is near Lancelot, causing fainting and passing out from Guinevere.
It's soon apparent that these two have some sort of connection to Morgan Le Fey and Mordred.
But Guinevere herself finds she is drawn romantically in Arthurs direction.
Which obviously in itself comes with its own set of unique issues.
Meanwhile, imprisoned in her tower cursed to weave the tapestry of life, desperate for freedom Elaina enters this tale.
Unbeknown to them all, their stories are intertwined in love and life, ready to play out before the reader's eyes.
So firstly as I mentioned before Woven is extremely rich in history and sets such a believable tapestry. I could almost smell and feel the history involved, so much research has so obviously gone on here. and it works Bree Moore has brought this legend to vibrant life.
and even know roughly knowing the way this was going to play out I still found myself wishing I could tweak the outcomes, I was obviously facing, so invested was I in this fascinating tale.
This story flowed well and easily kept my attention throughout and the characters involved felt fresh and not recycled, not an easy job when reselling a story that has been told so often so a very well done to the author herself for this feat, I was impressed.
The females I found especially, were such strong individuals, showing up there male counterparts completely.
Merlin was the only male I generally liked here, he was the only one I felt had a core of genuine integrity.
It was ironic really all the honour and loyalty that was bandied around by the men when it was the woman themselves that were the towers of strength and steadfastness.
This really was a joy to read. The way this tale was narrated with multiple personality inputs was great, it gave a very rounded portrayal of all involved here.
I just wish there could have been a happier outcome for our fair ladies, I know, I know, it's the way the legend play's out, but this is a fable and as such I think is open to interpretation, so why not tweak the outcome, stack the deck and give all involved a much happier ever after.
That is except for maybe Arthur and Lancelot, I really didn't like these two very much, a pair of douchbags in my modern day opinion, the females portrayed here got totally shafted, big style, by these two.
This legend so needs a rewrite with a proper ending for the girls, give them a break jeez.
So if you like stories rich in history and steeped in legend this is the book for you.
But before I go a warning Woven contains sexual assault and rape scenes if this at all is a trigger for you please do avoid.
The scenes are in keeping with the story and it's not there for shock value, this is days of old when times were different and woman were seen as chattel but it's there all the same, so thought you should be aware before reading.
So that's it for me, Thank you to the author Bree Moore for providing me with a copy of Woven.
This is my own free and honest opinion.

I was looking forward to digging into this book. It’s Camelot as seen through a woman’s eyes and I expected new insights to this ancient tale. The story partially delivered. It wasn’t everything I hoped for but there were still parts that I enjoyed.

Guinevere and Elaina are the two main characters in the tale. Mostly, they simply react to situations they find themselves in. Morgan le Fey plays a role but she’s really working behind the scenes. However, I did like that she takes an active role instead of merely reacting to situations. Guinevere and Elaina were caught up in the plot instead of driving the plot.

Nearly every character is an emotional mess and this made the story feel one dimensional. Guinevere doesn’t know what she wants even when Morgan and Morgase aren’t messing with her memories and will. Elaina is angry and sad, rightly so since she’s imprisoned, but she also lets her fear keep her frozen in her situation. King Arthur is driven by pride and deep need to be loved completely and unconditionally. Lancelot/Mordred may or may not still be under an enchantment that makes him a lustful, self-centered man. Garrick’s heart yearns for glory and courtly love, turning him away from the solid love and comfort of wife and family. The emotional turmoil never ended and that made the plot a little exhausting and it dragged at times.

Half way through, I felt I needed a character map since some of the characters are doubled or tripled up. I believe Guinevere has Morgan and Morgase in her mind. Then Lancelot carries Mordred’s soul… or perhaps it’s the same soul but reincarnation is in play… I really wasn’t sure. Mordred of old (long before Lancelot was born) had a fling with Elaina. I am still not sure how much time has passed with Elaina trapped in the tower. In retrospect, I think there was some leaping back and forth in time but when I was listening to the tale, I thought Guinevere’s and Elaina’s tales were parallel.

I mostly enjoyed the side characters. Merlin comes into play late in the tale but he gets to be all mysterious and possibly all knowing. Garrick (or is it Gareth?) was an intense character. His dedication to his dream of becoming a knight was inspiring until I realized what it was costing his family. He’s so caught up in his dreams and goals he fails to see that perhaps his wife might also have dreams that she’s sacrificing for him. He was truly a tragic figure in this story and that made his role memorable. The Green Knight also puts in a spooky appearance and I would have liked more of him.

I never bonded with Guinevere or Elaina so the repeated near-rape scenes didn’t pull me into the story as much as I expected. I kept waiting for more from these ladies however they were just big balls of emotion and little else. I wanted to be on their side but I usually yawned through their scenes, enjoying the minor characters quite a bit more. All told, 3.5/5 stars.

The Narration: Rebecca McKernan did an OK job with this story. She had distinct voices for each of the characters and she usually did well with the emotions. There were several lines that were repeated and occasionally there were some mouth or throat noises. 4/5 stars.
