This book was SO incredibly constructed. I love what Deonn does with the Arthurian legend and the way she writes with such a sense of place. I love that it plays with ideas of who is entitled to what kind of power, I love that she negotiates with different types of privilege and you can feel, in this book, the value of writing from an own voices perspective and what it means not to tell A story, but YOUR story.

Also, the way that the story ends and the way that slavery and oppression is, itself, the seed of the destruction of those who practice it. It's just...of course! How could it be otherwise?
