This is about Bree Mathews, the 16 year old high school student (in a college program), and how she embodies "Black Girl Magic," literally! 

This story is "Black Girl Magic," meets Arthurian legend. This was about 500 pages, I feel like the first half was a bit slow, and then the second half picked up and had all the action. 

The story was overall amazing! 

I'm giving this 5 out of 5 stars.

Wow I am so glad I was able to borrow this from my local library!! It definitely lives up to the hype it has gotten since its release.

I love the magic system, the characters and themes of family and ancestry. The only draw back for me in this book is the romance, I do think it was well written, I just think it wasn't for me.

Can't wait to pick up the sequel!

I loved this book. It's not the same old, tired YA fantasy despite involving Arthurian legend. I especially appreciate the way grief and institutional racism were handled.

The only thing I am wary of is a potential relationship that could happen in the next book (sincerely hope it doesn't).
