All in all, very gripping once past the first 50 pages -> I binged this. I love the characters so much + the exploration of how historical institutions are hostile to POC (esp in USA) stood out to me.
Had some flaws (

I LOVED the reimagining of the King Arthur myth and how Deonn crafted such a unique and enthralling world! I cannot wait to read book 2.
I do think the author bogged the reader down with so many characters and nicknames (Sarah doesn't need to be shortened to Sar) with fairly surface level development; the cast of characters was necessary because of the premise, but of the dozen or so side characters few of them felt well -rounded or like they existed beyond the scenes they were in.
