Heartbreaking. Soul-crushing. Full of twists and turns.
That's all I can say about this book.... 

I stayed up until 2am to finish this book....2 AM! And I do not regret it.
 This book was great, like really great. I loved it! I loved Bracken's writing style and found it helped to keep this story more captivating. 

The tension was high throughout this entire book but towards the end, around the last nine chapters, the tension sky-rocketed and everything I thought I knew was no more. Plot twists and turns, one after the other, emotional damage was done. 
(I mean my pillow....full of tears) 

Tamsin, the main character, was certainly an interesting character to read about. She had quite an issue with trust (relatable) and had difficulty letting people in (also relatable). Her development throughout this book was very well written and she certainly grew on me. 

Another thing about this book was that you could tell Bracken did plenty of research on the Arthurian legends that fed into the plot line. 
But, after that ending....I'm going to need the next book ASAP. I have so many questions!! 

I honestly cannot recommend this book enough. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you do so! I loved it!!
