WOW. What a finish to this duology. I'm going to be totally honest, the first book (Silver in the Bone) was just a 4 star read for me. It was good but I felt it was missing something. Boy, did Alexandra Bracken say BET because I screamed my way through this book!!

Seriously, give yourself a chunk of time for the last 20% of the book because once you get there you aren't going to want to stop!! Also, I cried twice. It's been a while since a book moved me to tears in two completely separate sections.

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves the legends of King Arthur or found female friendship. The bond between the four female main characters was *chefs kiss*. As someone who struggles to let down her walls herself, it was nice to see the struggle in book form and see Tamsin accept and love the people around her.

Seriously, you should read this duology! I can't wait to purchase my own physical copy when it comes out at the end of this month (I'm really hoping Fairyloot gives us a matching copy 🤞🤞) Thanks Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review! 

What an adorable children's book! My dog was rescued (from this same rescue actually!) and this story really hit home for me. My little boy was also a sad and anxious boy when I first adopted him and he's worked hard to get braver every day. Every dog deserves a loving family. I hope this book helps inspire others to go out there and rescue some of these adorable and deserving pups!
