THIS WAS SO GOOD. The magic system, the ties to her ancestry?!? How is that not talked about more. I’m in shock and awe, it’s been a while since a book had me in such a choke hold. I can also definitely see why people love the love triangle cuz wow. It’s so much deeper than just a simple love triangle w the Arthurian aspect. I think tho ( and apparently this is the unpopular opinion) that Bree and Nick should be endgame. I can see Selwyns appeal and even more so after his POV at the end of the book revealing his regret for his deep seeded murderous intent on Bree and how badly he hurt Nick. I just can’t ignore how much I love the push and pull between Nick and Bree and their deep bond through time .. ugh tugs at my heart. Honestly they got it for me.
Graphic: Gore, Racism, Violence, and War
Moderate: Grief, Gore, and Death of parent
Minor: Slavery and Vomit
AGAIN how is no one talking about how well thought out the different magic systems are in this book and their intertwining?!? The part where it’s revealed that 8th generations ago in Nick’s generation, the Scion of Arthur had a child with his slave Vera who ALSO has her own magic ( root) . Her escaping and begging for heightened abilities form the ancestors in order to protect her and her lineage ?!?! I mean incredible really. Amazing no notes.
