Oh my. I so wanted to like this book. I have loved the writings of John and Caitlin Matthews and their insights on so many levels of the Arthurian mythos.

But this book doesn't cut it. They explore nine women who are associated with Arthur, many forgotten by history and Arthurian writers, which is a great premise. As they write each chapter, they get so bogged down in speculation and pulling in aspects of Celtic mythmaking that it just stopped being informative and interesting and became a morass of too much stuff.
