I know this is a duology, but hear me out, five books? Four books? I'll even settle for three PLEASE I NEED MORE!!!

I had an arc of book one and loved it to bits, but this release went a bit off the radar for me, so I was really exited when I saw it was finally out.

It's such a brilliant sequel, I can't say which book I love more. While the first focused on Cass trying to find herself, this one really leaned into her embracing her destiny. AND, we got to see (and meet) Arthur, Merlin and the Knights too.

The dreamy writing style is still present and perfect for the story, I'd like to go back to this dream again and again thanks!!

I just adore the way this was written, the choices made relating to each character, in which light to paint them, and the huge emphasis on women being forgotten throughout history no matter how grand their contributions.

Cass grew so much during her journey, and I'm so glad I got to know her and the rest of the women. They'll continue living in my head rent free forevermore.
