Definitely one of my top 5 books of the year and possibly ever. Felt the same kind of joy and excitement while reading that I used to get when reading my favorite series from middle school

This is AMAZING! Such a beautiful and raw take on grief, racism, and slavery. The world building was incredible, the characters are so lovable and real, and so many plot twists to keep you on your toes. In short, just read it :)

I just reread this due to the sequel coming out shortly and loved it as much this time as when I originally read it in 2020. It is well thought out and developed. I like that it allows me to see a perspective that I cannot otherwise appreciate (of a black girl in the south) using a great storyline in a way that was real and not preachy. There is great representative and well handled discussion of difficult subjects. Tracey Deonn also wrote such an awesome refreshing novel take on the King Arthur legends, I am incredibly excited to see where else she takes this version of the Round Table.
