I was already excited for a new Alix Harrow book, and even more excited about it being about lady knights and with the possibility of a time loop, and an expansion of an already fantastic short story. However, this book blew me away in the best kind of way. Not only do we get the complexities of time loops, but we get a meaningful look at the power of stories, what happens as you realize the story you've been fighting for this whole time is in fact a carefully constructed lie, what you choose to fight for, and the power of myth making in building and undoing empires. And at the heart of it, a heartbreaking love story between a historian in love with a lady knight, and the truth of the knight and the woman who falls back in love with him. Pick this up in October and enjoy the ride.
