SISTERSONG
Despite being based on various established sources – Arthurian myth, the writings of the monk Gildas, and the folk ballad “The Twa Sisters” among them – Sistersong feels seamless and strangely believable most of the time. This is because Gildas’s writings form the foundation; Lucy Holland’s post-Roman Britain is beautifully drawn, and her kingdom of Dumnonia in line with what archaeology suggests the West Country was like at that time.
