At the end of the day, while the beginning was slightly clunky for me, the ending more than made up for any grievance I had with the book. This story is such an interesting and unique take on the Arthruian lore and the characters are so incredibly realistic. I cannot wait to continue reading in this world and this will be one of my go to recommendations.

I have hopes that this series will be a 5 star one for me, but there were a few things about this first book that didn’t quite get me there on the fantasy side. The biggest one being that the demon fighting felt very one dimensional, in that this first book just focused on using ether to fight demons and didn’t get into a more interesting or complex purpose. While root and Patricia brought time walking and other magics to the table, I felt like the fantasy/magic side of this book fell a bit flat for me. That being said, there was a lot of world establishing in this book so I have hopes that the magic will grow in its meaning and complexity in book 2 and beyond.
