This one was a bit confusing and the threads White was trying to weave didn't exactly fit together nicely with the ending, which is why I didn't go higher. Still, it's fun to see this twist on the King Arthur legends, Tristan and Isolde, and a bit of real history with Rhoslyn's crew's brief appearance again.
Also, what are you up to, Mordred?

Book 2 here we go!!!! This is exactly what I need after being sick for a week and a bit. I was (and still am) in such a reading slump, but this reread has me pumped for the third and final book in this trilogy. It also has me wanting to read more Arthurian romance retellings but maybe new adult and adult rather than YA.
I forgot how much traveling was in this book, it is by no means the hobbit or lord of the rings level, but it was nice to see more of the world than just Camelot. The final books also looks to be leaning towards traveling around the world as well.
I still very much adore these characters. I love how they are in this book and with each page turn my adoration for them grew. I found them compelling, complex, and morally grey which made for some really interesting scenes. I think if this was written for adults we could really look further into those scenes, but I known that is not the focus of the book.
I am so excited to finally get to the third book of this series.
