I am not familiar with the Arthurian legend but I found this to be an interesting and fresh take on it from what I do know. The magic system and the world are quite cool and there is a lot of detail. There are pirates, faeries, magical creatures, and so much more. The characters are unique and complex and I enjoyed the multiple POVs. It is a bit heavy on the theme of oppressive religion with misogyny and homophobia so, as always, check the trigger warnings before reading.
