Aryana's Journey by Aspen BlackMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Merlin is Fae!
This was an enjoyable fantasy where Merlin and the knights of the round table are fae, though King Arthur was human. It’s now the 23rd Century and the human race has largely fallen back to the dark ages. Merlin is on the hunt for the next king of the fae, using Excalibur to see if anyone can pull the sword from the stone.
Aryana is a normal human girl who was orphaned young and raised by the cook and stable master of the richest man in town. Despite being orphaned young, she seems pretty happy with her lot. Her adopted family are really lovely people and they treat her well. Her job in the kennels is something she loves doing and everything is good except for her recurring nightmares.
When Aryana pulls Excalibur from the stone on a dare she is stunned to be proclaimed the new monarch.
This book is a fairly straight forward slow burn reverse harem fantasy book. I felt there wasn’t a lot of character development sadly, as I really believed that would have been very interesting. The plot was pretty straight forward until the last chapter when everything took a bit of unexpected turn. It made me want to read the next book, I just wish the rest of the book could have had as many twists.
