This was a great reimagining of Arthurian tales with fae and a dark side. 

I appreciated the way the author wrote about our FMC’s grief and trauma. I felt like this was really relatable for a lot of people. I loved our grumpy and brooding MMC Arran! 

He is the morally gray MMC I’ve been needing for a while. And the way he appreciates Keyva’s full figure. Yes please, we need more of that in fantasy books. 

Plus some very hot spicy scenes are always appreciated 🥵

Not to mention the cliffhanger?!?! I was shook! And I will be starting the 2nd book immediately following this review. 

If you’re looking for a dark fantasy series with political intrigue and an enemies to lovers storyline then I’d recommend giving this one a go. 

My only note/criticism that the beginning of this book was quite slow and I wasn’t really sure where the plot was going until I hit the 40% mark.
