I loved this book! It was a fantastic read and enjoyable , it’s a unique retelling of king author. It was fast paced but I loved reading it. It’s had a unique fae twist to it as well.
I quite liked it. It was somewhat predictable as romantasies tend to be, but I enjoyed the writing, the setting, and the take on Arthurian characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Starwater Press for this eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own.
I enjoyed this retelling, it does start off slow though.
The pacing of this book dragged on a lot. It started to get better around 50-60% in. It also would’ve been nice to see more character development with Morgan. I am looking forward to read the second book!!

✨Thank you to Netgalley and the author for an ARC of this book in exchange for my review✨
This book is an interesting retelling of the legend of King Arthur and his quest for Excalibur with a magical twist and added fantasy. I really enjoyed this book and was GLUED to the pages the entire time. I finished it in 1 day because I really couldn’t put it down. I felt so immersed in the story the whole time! I loved that the author described the characters and environments so well that they were easy to picture and just so well written. I felt like the main character could have used a little bit more substance and character development but with this being a series, I’m sure that’s to come in later books. I love a good slow burn romance and this was giving it! The added mystery and deceit from multiple characters built up so much suspense and made the plot twists shocking.
One of my only disappointments was the end. It ended with so many unanswered questions and like 7 cliffhangers that left it feeling rushed/unresolved despite a pretty good stopping point in the plot. I’m sure this was intentional to add suspense for book 2 and, though I appreciated the POV switch, I was hoping for a little more character development and was left with a lot of confusion. I’m looking forward to seeing how the main character develops as well as other characters as the story continues in the next book! Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good fantasy quest/journey with some slow burn romance, friendship, and magic.

Received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
MC Morgan Pentagon was born by the King and a Fae Woman. Because of her mother, she was rumored to carry the blood of the fae in her veins. The King removed her mother, dubbed her brother King, and she was promised to the goddesses when she comes of age to be a high priestess. A role she was not ready for.
A princess of royal blood and the future high priestess of all of Pendeath, who likes to blend in and also sneaks around to help her people as one of them? My kind of story. I enjoyed the detailed world building of the story.
As a high priestess, vowing to the Three, you must also vow to celibacy for at least 30 years. Until one day, her brother, the King, sends her off onto a deadly mission.
Lots of action once the troop was on the road, but I'm left with a lot of questions and in need of answers in book 2.
I am so glad she stopped drinking the medicine and we got to see her blossom into a fae.
I'm glad she killed Vesper, I had a bad feeling about him from the start.
