About this listen

A maid who will become legend....

Sixteen-year-old Alena longs for a world where peasants, servants, and nobles are all equal. Truly, that will never be possible, until the day when she removes a sword from a stone and might have the chance to become queen...if she can rally those same peasants, servants, and nobles behind her.

Legend is a King Arthur retelling with Arthur as Alena, a maid who can possibly become so much more than she ever dreamed possible. Perfect for fans of The Mists of Avalon, The Selection, and Red Queen.

If you like fair tales then this story is for you. It will grab you till the end. It’s a retelling of a favourite, King Arthur but instead of a King it’s the retailing of the legand but from Alena point of view . Alena is missable as a maid , she’s mistreated by the lords , and squires until she finds the strength to she finds her worth .
Sarah Colton performance was very strong, she did the tones great. Her voice is smooth and strong

I received a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Legend was an enjoyable listen and a novel take on the King Arthur legend. I thought the narrator did an amazing job with this story and all the characters, the British accent was great and was in keeping with the setting of the story and the origin of the legend. Overall the story was mysterious and intriguing with some action and twists along the way, a solid start to The Queenmaker Series.

I love this idea. The concept of a female Arthur.
I could see the similarities with this book and The Sword in the Stone and loved it.
Can’t wait to dig into book 2 and 3! 😍

The author did a great job building a pretty amazing world around the character that really fits. Unfortunately, it seems there is always something negative going on or in her mood. Cool concept/plot idea. Really liked the blurb and was excited for the book but it fell through on a whole. The narrator did a good job giving life to the main character.

This was a fairy tale based similar to the tale of King Arthur. Instead of the poor boy getting the sword from the stone, it was the maid and she became queen. In this story we have the Queen Maker that replaced Excalibur and Merlin had been replaced by a female magic worker. This was a good twisted to the legend of King Arthur and I enjoyed the narrator Sarah L. Colton.

Alena is not satisfied with her life and refuses to give herself wholly to being just a maid. When she accidentally pulls a magic sword from a stone, her whole life changes and she discovers that there is a lot more to her story than she ever knew.
While she doesn't agree with the way things are and continues to fight back for her own rights, she also seems to scorn anyone else who has aspirations for a better life. There are quite a lot of contradictions in the book and I found the olden days language seemed a bit forced.
I really like the idea for the story with the combination of Robin Hood and Sword in the Stone. I hope there will be more about Alena's friend Liam in future books.
In terms of the narration, I felt like the accents were all over the place.

I love retellings and this was great. This retelling of The Sword in the Stone which I read when I was a child. There were twists on it though. We have a girl removing the sword from the stone, Alena. She could be Queen by removing the sword, but there are challenges in her way. It flowed so well and the character and the world-building was just how I would have imagined it to be in that day.
I need to know more though as I was captivated. Bring on the second in the series!
