69. Isolde : Queen of the Western Isle

by Rosalind Miles (349 pgs)

I read the second book sometime earlier and found it decent so I decided to track down the first book and give them a proper chance. Honestly I enjoyed this one a great deal more than the first. I found myself caring a great deal for both Tristan and Isolde. Miles did a good job explaining why a woman in love with one man would marry a different man without resorting to spite. Of course, this is a retelling of a piece of the Arthur legend so it's bound to be a bit overblown but I found it pleasant for a spot of light reading.
