This book has SUCH an interesting plot!! I loved the show Merlin and so it is an easy argument to get me to read anything Arther inspired. The plot was so interesting but I found it to be a tad on the confusing side most of the time. I wished there was more of an explanation behind a lot of the traditions and more world building but this book is remarkably character driven for a fantasy. I am still debating whether I will read book 2 but I am hoping that there will be a lot more world building.

Bree is an amazing person with a very strong personality. I don't know if I am just too old to be reading YA but she read really young for her age. She make a lot of very impulsive decisions that don't really make sense unless totally relying on emotion and ignoring any common sense. She is truly fearless but in a childish way that I am hoping the author will move away from in the coming book.

Overall this was a really fascinating book but had some character issues that made it harder to read. I will definitely recommend to younger YA readers.
