I'm so glad to be reading a book by Hafsah Faizal again; this one might be my favorite so far. All the characters felt distinct, and I enjoyed all of their different dynamics with each other. I also really liked the word building, and how the fantasy and historical aspects felt seamless. Loved the twist on Arthurian mythology and I liked how the lore world from Faizal's previous books was integrated into this book in an authentic way, without feeling too much like fan service. The last fifty/sixty pages had my jaw on the floor, leaving me eagerly waiting for the next book.
