With roots in Arthurian legend, I was excited to dive in, but I was ultimately let down. While the initial plot draws immediate interest, the overall execution reminded me more of recited journal entries than an actual tale, and left me feeling like I'd read a bit of a flat story.

this was a really enjoyable read, I loved the use of Arthur legends and reading this book. It was a lot of fun to read.

This book was a really fun and enjoyable read. The characters were relatable and had great depth. I definitely recommend it and will be ordering copies for my library.

I really wanted to like this book. With the roots in Arthurian legend, I thought for sure I would like it. Sadly, both the characters and writing lacked sophistication and depth. This felt like a series of facts covered loosely by a confusing plot. The writing was so one dimensional and felt more like a girl writing a journal then an attempt to portray a progression of a plot. Also what 17 year old in the 21st century calls their mom "mother". All in all, I can tell the author is knowledgable in history and mythology, but the characters, plot, and dialogue were really lacking.

Absolutely terrible. DNF at 8%. The writing style is pretentious and annoying and the main character, who is supposed to be 17 and modern, sounds like she thinks she's in an Austen novel.
