A really good, fast-paced, and innovative spin on the Arthurian legends and a really beautiful look at the way that grief--both generational and personal molds can really do a number on people, especially young people of color. The strongest bits for me were the character building, when magic was actually being done, and the deep-dive into grief. I felt the Trials(TM) parts were the weakest links in this book, but hopefully they won't appear in book 2.

This is like a high 4.5 
I could even almost go 4.75 but It just took me quite a while to understand the magic system and all the new words 
But so worth it for the second half of the books

To put it short, this is one of the most influential, inspiring, and gut wrenching stories I’ve ever read. I don’t want to spoil this at all, since I came upon the book without knowing what it was fully about. It truly only got better with each chapter. At one point I had to put the book down and bawl my eyes out for a quick second before frantically going back to reading. This is such an amazing book and I will hold it close to my heart. I have the second book waiting for me, and I can’t wait to dive in.
