adventurous dark tense medium-paced

3.5⭐️ this book is split into 2 I think? Bit strange but book 1 is just all scene setting, it was really quite boring. Book 2 is a lot better, a bit predictable but enough of a cliffhanger that I’m going to read the next book

Unique retelling of King Arthur with a dark twist. Morgan, Draven, and Vespers banter kept you entertained, and I want a big purring cat!
Can't wait to fall into more of Draven and Morgan's story in book 2.

This was honestly a really fun easy read. A Camelot retelling ft. fae. The story read a lot like From Blood and Ash and What Lies Beyond the Veil, but if you enjoy those stories (which I did) then I would recommend this book. Although a bit predictable there were still some aspects that I was not expecting which made the story refreshing. A very promising debut fantasy novel by Briar Boleyn and will most likely read the next sequel.(Although hoping for a more original story)
