Really enjoyed it, it’s very YA but the execution is excellent. The mix between Arthurian legends and Afroamerican heritage is very interesting and I found the discourse about both of these + the dialectic between the two very subtlely handled. I didn’t expect the social discourse to be this subtle and moving, to be honest. The romance aspects were also really enjoyable and I can’t wait for book two.

I expected more of a « badass female character » kicking ass romp and less emotion about what magic is and how it binds people to their heritage, specifically.

Really enjoyed it, highly recommend !!
