This book took me on a journey and I’m not just talking about the story. When I first started it, I was engaged and intrigued by the direction the author took in this Arthurian retelling. However that quickly turned into annoyance. There is a good chunk of this book early on is the author repeatedly explaining knot magic. I mean come on it’s not that complicated, we don’t need a description and explanation EVERY time! Then we had to describe and go through her fear of water every single time... we get it she fears water and it’s important to the plot of the trilogy!! I kept reading though because they were just minor annoyances in a rather unique story line. Also FYI the over description stop at some point and the book really starts to flow!! By the end I am cursing then universe that the next book isn’t out yet!! I can’t wait to see what happens... I have theories that need to be worked on, and I’m really glad the confusing romance part of the story didn’t get to trite. Yes I’m being vague because NO SPOILERS. So all in all 4 stars from me!!
