Does it hold up?

I also haven't re-read it since then - I think I liked it but was overwhelmed by melancholy

I am having trouble thinking of any female-centric Rosemary Sutcliffs! She did do a Tristam and Iseult re-telling, but I haven't read it.

Gillian Bradshaw's Down the Long Wind trilogy also has the third book narrated by Gwenhyfar (first two are Gawain/Gwalchmai). I have to confess to being annoyed it wasn't Gawain (I have gone through various phases of fondness for most of the Arthurian pantheon but he was the one I liked first, when I encountered him in Roger Lancelyn Green's Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell) and don't think I've judged the book fairly. I do really like the first two and should probably give the third another go, as I've only read it once.
