This book was pretty good! It was inspired by British mythology and the story of "the Hunt", but with very strong female characters and leads. I will admit I found myself googling a lot of the terms while reading this, which is why I gave it four stars. If you don't have a strong knowledge of British mythology or medieval terms you may struggle. I really loved Athelburg's character and development during this book. I will probably purchase a physical copy of this book for myself, as I received this for free as an ARC from Netgalley.

Anything to do with the Fey and Gwyn ap Nudd will forever earn my interest. This book was an entertaining read and one that was written in a way that made me want to never put the book down.

adventurous emotional inspiring sad tense

4.0

Quite well-done historical fiction about civil war, love, magic, and broken hearts set during the reign of King Ine of Wessex (southern England, probably more or less 700 CE). I really liked the main characters and their interactions.
