I wasn't completely sure what to expect with this book! But I really enjoyed it so much!
The very beginning started to feel almost like a Shadowhunters retelling, but as the story progressed, my opinion on that changed. I'm only even sharing this fact so nobody gives up too early in the book!
The story is a modern day retelling about descendants from the Legend of King Arthur. This was so interesting to me! Also, the main character, Bree, is a brilliant high schooler who gets involved in a program called EC (Early College). Through this she meets the group on campus that is made up of these descendants.
We get to follow her as she tries to find out more about her mother's death and what exactly this secret society is all about. We also see her have to overcome many rude comments made about her race.
A very powerful story that definitely had some twists I didn't expect! Also, a major cliffhanger ending!!! (Where is the next book?!?!?))
There was a moderate amount of cursing which I don't like in young adult books. Also, there was a thing commonly known as insta-love which gets on my nerves, but many people like. Also, the activities in the book seemed to happen WAY too fast then they would in the real world. But the storyline and characters definitely made up for it!
I'd recommend for anyone who loves fantasy and YA books. Or if you like reading anything that hits on the Legend of King Arthur!
