Nimue grew up in a village of druids, but she was feared even by the village elders, for her formidable control of dark magic. We’ve got all the familiar characters (including the sword Excalibur), but the twist with this take on the legend is that the sword has chosen a young woman (Nimue) as the worthy bearer. I was interested in this because of the multi-media aspect – illustrations by noted comic book artist Frank Miller, and that this was (when I started reading this) about to be aired on Netflix as a series (the series was released the day after I finished reading this). We can go years without seeing new Arthur stories being told and then suddenly we get a slough of them. I’ve had an interest in the Arthurian legends for a very, very long time and it’s been interesting to see the cyclical nature of new Arthur-era stories. ![]()
