I cannot believe I sat on this series for as long as I did! If you have heard about this recently due to the recent release of the third book in this series, let me just tell you that if you love fantasy, you MUST pick this up!

There’s Arthurian lore, secret societies, magic, incredible character development, race/LGBTQ/gender identity/class representation, ancestral bonds (especially between mothers and daughters), grief and therapy rep, I mean…the list goes on and on. There was just so much depth poured into this story.

I think what I loved the most was how much of Bree’s character development was central to the plot and was a big component of what drove the plot, which I thought was fast-paced for being so character-driven.

I had no idea I had such a thirst for a complex contemporary fantasy with a romantic sub-sub-plot—like the romance is barely there, but there is a hint of a possible future love triangle. I also appreciate how much time and effort you can tell Tracy put into building this world.

I would recommend that if you’re reading this for the first time, to read with your eyeballs and take your time, because it is a lot. But it is so worth it.

Happy reading! x
