I love Arthurian lore. I've written papers on it, taken extra classes on it, etc. I LOVED this book! I adored this retelling of it. The author is very well versed in the lore herself and blends it so fascinatingly well with American history that it takes on a unique life of it's own in this book. The characters are all so interesting and lovable. I have adopted Selwyn into my Grumpy-Emo-Sons club (he sits between Megumi from JJK and Kaz). 

I think what I touched me the most about this story truly, is it's theme of reclamation. At it's heart, that's what it's most about. Reclamation of self, of ancestry, of taking up space in a white, southern, toxic patriarchy. The plot twist is SO AMAZING in it's complicated emotions. I cheered, and then I cried, I soaked in Bree's bittersweet emotions.

I could rant about this book for ages. I NEED THE SEQUEL LIKE I NEED AIR! Just read it.
