Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where you chose a random book from your Goodreads TBR and show it off. This meme is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.
This week, I’m talking about a book I added to my TBR because I’ve recently read two books by the author and loved them both. Half Sick of Shadows is written by Laura Sebastian who also wrote Ash Princess and Castles in Their Bones. I adored these books and am excited to continue each series. But I have since gone and added a bunch of the author’s other books to my TBR because I want to binge them all! lol
About the Book:
Page Length: 448
Publisher: Ace
Synopsis: Everyone knows the legend. Of Arthur, destined to be a king. Of the beautiful Guinevere, who will betray him with his most loyal knight, Lancelot. Of the bitter sorceress, Morgana, who will turn against them all. But Elaine alone carries the burden of knowing what is to come–for Elaine of Shalott is cursed to see the future.
On the mystical isle of Avalon, Elaine runs free and learns of the ancient prophecies surrounding her and her friends–countless possibilities, almost all of them tragic.
When their future comes to claim them, Elaine, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Morgana accompany Arthur to take his throne in stifling Camelot, where magic is outlawed, the rules of society chain them, and enemies are everywhere. Yet the most dangerous threats may come from within their own circle.
As visions are fulfilled and an inevitable fate closes in, Elaine must decide how far she will go to change fate–and what she is willing to sacrifice along the way.
The Lady of Shalott reclaims her story in this bold feminist reimagining of the Arthurian myth from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess.

Have you read Half Sick of Shadows? What’s on your TBR? Comment below!
I read this one this past summer! Overall I really liked it and how it played around with the Arthurian legends.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have always been curious about this one but haven’t picked it up yet.
Me too – it sounds so good!
I haven’t read any book by Laura Sebastian, but I love these covers. I’ll give The Ash Price a try 😉 thanks for sharing !
Oooh, The Ash Princess is a good one. A bit darker than I expected, but I loved it all the same.
This book is still on my TBR. I don’t know when I’ll get to it.
Me too. lol
