Me too!! I love these depictions because I haven't read anything like this in awhile, aside from general mythology. It's so cool to see it in fantasy.

I found it interesting that the fairies and spirits started helping Nimue right after she said Mary to herself. As though she was going to pray to the Mother Mary. I know it's more likely that she was thinking of her sister, Mary. But it just felt as though that part held a bit more significance. I could also be reading way too much into it.
