I am a true sucker for anything Arthurian Legend related or inspired, and when it has a female lead that is even better! This was my first Alexandra Bracken book and I will be reading everything she does!

I am still reeling from this book. 

I am in love with Alexandria Bracken's writing. Like with Lore, she introduces us to this world that's haunted by the legends of King Arthur as the story naturally progresses, opting for throwing us right into the plot. And then you almost immediately hit that point of the story where the action surges and wanes, and it makes the book impossible to put down. I can't say more, as much as I want to gush over parts of this book, too much of it would be a spoiler. 

I absolutely recommend this book, and I can't wait for the sequel.

Audiobook from Libro.fm Librarian ARCs. The narrator is not bad, she does really well with the dramatic bits but I had to speed up the pace as it was a little drawn out. This is a dark take on Arthurian legend. It took a minute to get into it as it begins in a present-day place-ish. The last 30% of the book is nonstop and I found myself listening to it out of the car which tells you that it captured my attention. A solid 3.5 stars.
