The story that follows steeped in Arthurian legends. We follow Bri, as she uncovers truths about herself and the people around her. It's rapid pace finishes in a thrilling conclusion that left me wanting more.
Beyond that, it is a meditation on different types of grief, different types of trauma, and different types of coping mechanisms. It's a story about healing and finding your place in a world that doesn't want to make room for you.
As soon as I finished it, I started it again.
Moderate: Death of parent, Child abuse, Abandonment, and Violence

Deonn's writing and storytelling abilities were just as magical as her characters. This book contains strong character development and plot pacing. There was a lot to unravel with many moving parts, but Deonn did a great job weaving stories of old and new together. I enjoyed Deonn's portrayal of Bree and how Bree arrives at her ancestors. I respected everything about Bree, her struggle, and her unfailing commitment to friendships and family.
I do suggest reviewing trigger warnings for this book.
