What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers generally praise this novel for its engaging and fresh take on Arthurian legends, with a strong focus on timely and impactful themes like racism, grief, and generational trauma. Many reviewers appreciate the main character Bree's journey, the well-developed magic system, and the diverse, relatable cast. The inclusion of modern social issues, like racial injustice and LGBTQ+ representation, is highlighted by several readers as both eye-opening and integral to the story. However, a few readers found the beginning somewhat slow and complex due to extensive world-building, though most agreed that the action-packed latter half more than compensates. While some did not connect with the main character or found the narrative cluttered, the majority consider it a compelling and worthwhile read that lives up to the hype.
