These books are pretty in depth with a lot of details but I didn't feel lost at any point. Deonn does a great job of weaving everything together so that any questions you had were intentionally left unanswered and then resolved later.
The racial aspect of this book is woven in so well and is unlike what I've seen in other books which really stood out to me. I loved the way the author intentionally used the terminology of root (as explained in the author's note).
I am very excited to read the next book in this series!

This is an incredible retelling, recontexualizing of King Arthur legends that made my younger self smile with glee. Combining the legend with the tradegey with resilience and love that in so many ways mirrors the nobility of those legends.
I am not going to tell you anymore because you should simply read it. You won't regret it. 11/10 stars!
