The world building is next level! It took me a bit longer to read because I would stop and try and connect the Arthurian lore, as someone who isn’t familiar. The characters were lovable, relatable, and made me want more of the world. Having blackness mixed with fantasy is just meant to be. I love reading work that honors black history, culture, and struggles while also offering newness that is deserved. Teen me would’ve love to read this and envision myself in the story.
