I was so excited to finally read this book and it just let me down. The concept is amazing and so cool but I spent the majority of the book confused and bored. I was so much more interested in the present rather than the story of the past. Also, did anyone else notice how many characters' names started with K? I genuinely have no clue who some of the K characters are...
I wish there had been an in-depth glossary similar to the setup of The Priory of the Orange Tree (this happens to be the book I've most recently been reading with these features but I am not actually comparing the context or authors or these books to clarify, just the glossary/persons of the tale sections)
