“Another girl to add to the litany: Elaine, Morgen, Margawse, and now Anna.”

“Anna Briallen Carys Pendragon. Through all the ages, and in the hearts of men, you will be forgotten.”

Queen of None is the first book in the Queens of Fate series. The book follows Anna Pendragon, King Arthur’s sister.

I really liked Anna as a main character, she is strong, witty & independent. I loved how she didn’t need a man to take care of her and didn’t give into the dominance of men.

Both the characters and the world building were well written and interesting. The storyline itself was a fresh take and brought something new to Arthurian legend and the story of King Arthur.

Really well written retelling with interesting female characters and perspective.

Overall a great concept. The ending wasn’t my favorite but other than that I really enjoyed the book.

Perfect book for you if you like Arthurian legends and strong, independent female characters. 


I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
