Guinevere (Guinevere)

This is a fantasy based on the original story. Guinevere as portrayed by Newman is a shallow individual from a wealthy family who focuses only on herself and her needs. Her parents and brothers pamper her. The one redeeming feature of her character is her bonding with the unicorn. This portion of the tale was sensitive and well done, a delight to those who love the unicorn myth. There is a priestess who attempts to sacrifice Guinevere to her goddess, the unicorn who loves her, and a young man who is of the old people who adores Guinevere. Interesting take on a well loved story full of myth. Nice read.
