For 30 years, Elaina has sat in her tower, fingers caught in an eternal dance, cursed to weave the tapestry of life on her loom. Bound by an enchanted mirror whose magic shows her the distant lives of the people of Camelot, she must forever watch a land which remains ever beyond her reach. Elaina despairs that she will ever experience more than just the shadows of life, until one day, a face appears in the mirror that will change her life, and possibly her fate, forever.
Guinevere is losing her mind. When a severe injury to her head nearly kills her and awakens alternate personalities suppressed from her past, Guinevere learns that one of them is plotting with a knight of the round table to murder King Arthur and take control of Camelot. In the midst of war, Guinevere fights to save both her own life and the man she loves, each day coming closer to succumbing to the violent personalities within her.
Inspired by Arthurian legend and Lord Alfred Tennyson’s ballad, "The Lady of Shalott", Woven spins a tale of two women who must risk everything to save those they love most into an epic of enchantment, love, and madness.

Guinevere is plagued with these awful headaches and doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She hears voices from past lives and doesn’t know what to do about them.
It took me a long time to figure out what was going on. There were some really good parts to the story and I did enjoy the descriptions of the landscapes. A few of the characters were really great too, King Arthur and Sir Gareth were my favorites. I wish Elaina and Guinevere would’ve been stronger and more decisive. They both did come around near the end, but I would’ve loved to see them have the same spirit throughout.
The narrator had a great voice and distinct character voices, my only complaint is, I noticed a lot of repeating of sentences throughout the book.

This was a fascinating retelling of the all-too-familiar Aurthurian Legend. The author does a masterful job of telling the story from different perspectives and interesting twists. The narration is well done, too. This is definitely worth a listen!

This intriguing telling of a story that has fascinated many readers throughout the ages, is full of surprises and twists. The author was able to let you truly feel the loneliness of the protagonist and her heart wrenching despair on the realization of what fate and sorcery had in store for her. One minute she was the happiest creature on an enchanted earth and the next she was prisoner of dark forces and events. Today, when magic is not credible, we would probably call her a split personality and just as tormented. Lancelot came out as being a very disreputable character and not at all likable, Guinevere misunderstood and unhappy...
The narration was great and the only criticism I have is that it took quite a while for the narration to make sense and for the characters to connect in a plausible story. King Arthur's fans will want to listen to it just the same and will surely enjoy this variation.
A Different Perspective on an Old Classic

The story is told in third person limited, jumping around to different points of view—but primarily it bounces between Elaina (the Lady of Shalott), Sir Gareth, and Guinevere. Elaina and Mordred are lovers, well before Camelot’s time, and she becomes pregnant before her sister Morgan has her confined to her tower for her own protection. The Lady of Shalott pines away for unrequited love of Lancelot, or so we’ve been told… and this is both true, and not true in this story. Guinevere is unfaithful to King Arthur with Lancelot… which is also both true, and not true. Mordred and Arthur are said to be mortal enemies, and also father and son… which is true, but not in the same way you’ve always heard. The Lady of the Lake, the Sorceress Nimue, does imprison Merlin… but not for the reason you think. Moore even works in the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (only in this case it’s Sir Gareth). The way she weaves these familiar tales together (no pun intended) was delightful.
The story still ends the way the stories all end—it is a tragedy, after all, and generally I don’t like sad stories. But it’s kind of like going to see the film “Titanic”: you kind of know what you’re in for by the title, and to me, it’s somehow easier to take when I know it’s coming. The fun was figuring out how we’re going to get there this time around.
(One caution though: this story contains quite a few fairly descriptive rape scenes toward the end. I didn’t care for this part, but it didn’t bother me as much as it otherwise might, because it was really the only possible way I can think of to explain the story’s main twist. If this isn’t for you, though, I’d steer clear.)
Surprising!

I have read at least one Arthurian/Guinevere series a year for over 30 years (that tells you how many there are and how deeply embedded these stories are in our collective psyche)
The magic of this book is the fascinating way the stories are woven together.
The Narration is excellent. The characters voices are distinct and add to the experience.
This book is definitely on my “re-read” list. I highly recommend this book.
I asked for an advance copy and I am writing an honest review.
