Silver in the Bone is a surprising and refreshing retelling that takes on the Arthurian legends.

Tamsin is an orphan without magic raised in a world with an adopted brother, Cabell and father figure, Nash who both possess the abilities she herself lacks. Together, they hunt for magical treasure until one day, Tamsin and her brother are inexplicably abandoned once again. Obsessed with Arthurian legends and artifacts, Tamsin finds herself on a quest, along with her sworn enemy to seek an object of lore that will break her brother’s curse.

Full of wonderful world-building and memorable characters that are full of human flaws, the first book in this new series holds tons of promise. I found myself unable to put it down with all the plot twists and action and immersed myself in the world of Avalon. I must admit someone wholly unfamiliar with the mythos the story is based on might find themselves confused as the author assumes you know the Arthurian legends. As a former English major, I had no problem following along. for a YA novel, there is quite a bit of gore and more graphic, non-sexual violence than is found in most YA novels.

Recommended for fans of retellings, fantasy, and anti-heroic characters.

Thank you to NetGalley, Knopf Books, and Alexandra Bracken for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much to Random House Children's and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I haven't read Alexandra Bracken since the Darkest Minds days and absolutely loved it, so this was incredibly nostalgic to read for me, personally, and see how much Bracken's writing has changed! This was an interesting twist on the Arthurian legend, and I would consider the romance in this to be rivals to lovers almost, which is great since that is my favorite trope. I thought the plot was good and really picked up at the end, so I will be desperately counting down the days until the sequel.

What a ride! Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken is a page-turning, horrific delight!

Set primarily in Avalon, the misty island of Arthurian legend, Silver in the Bone focuses on a brother-sister pair of relic hunters. Cabell and Tamsin Lark travel from the mortal world of Boston to this Otherworld in search of a ring that will save Cabell from a dreadful curse. They agree to ally with Neve, a sorceress, and Emrys Dye, one of the Cunningfolk and long-time relic hunting rival of the Lark siblings.

When they arrive in Avalon, they find a deadly wasteland and are imprisoned in the dungeon of the nine priestesses. And then their situation becomes really dire.

Tropes include: the reluctant hero, found family, and rivals to lovers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark magical fantasies with twisty storylines and more than a dash of horror.

Thank you to Random House Children's Books, Alfred A. Knopf, and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

Series Info/Source: This is the first book in the Silver in the Bone series. I got a copy of this book to review through NetGalley.

Thoughts: Previous to reading this book I have read many other books by Braken. I have enjoyed most of them but never really really loved them. I enjoyed "Brightly Woven", the 1st book in The Darkest Minds series, and "Lore"; I did not enjoy the later Darkest Minds novel. So, in summary Bracken is a bit hit or miss for me...this book followed in the same vein as those. This was okay, I like the darker twist to Arthurian mythology and the relic hunting but for some reason this wasn't the most engaging story for me.

The story follows Tamsin Lark and her brother Cabell. They are raised as Hollowers, those who populate the magical underground in the modern world and make a living hunting enchanted relics. The story starts with us hearing about an enchanted relic they need to hunt but then we are quickly transported to Avalon to hunt down a ring from Arthurian mythology. The world-building is a bit thin and I never quite understood how the whole multiple worlds thing worked.

There were things I enjoyed in the story and things I didn't. I really loved the beginning and enjoyed the treasure hunting aspect and the curses and adventure. Unfortunately, that quickly ended up in the background for a lot of the story. We quickly moved from relic hunting to a dark and cursed Avalon where our characters get forced into helping ancient Arthurian mythology figures. I didn't really enjoy the transition or the direction the plot took once they got to Avalon. It was like an Arthurian zombie apocalypse or something.

The characters were okay but I didn't love them, they just felt like they were missing something. Tamsin is so focused on how "bad" she's been that she gets in her own way. Her enemy-to-lovers, love interest isn't much better. All of these characters are supposed to be tortured and complex but come off as a bit stiff and shallow. The romance felt awkward and Tamsin's relationship with the others around her wasn't much better.

I read this and finished it and even enjoyed some of it. However, it was also very easy for me to put the book down and walk away from it. The writing style didn't really suck me in. When I was done I didn't want to read the next book but instead thought, "okay well onto something else". I really think this could have been an amazing book if the story had continued to focus more on relic hunting rather than Arthurian politics. The whole plunge into Arthurian mythology felt really forced.

My Summary (3.5/5): Overall I read this and it was okay, I even enjoyed some aspects of the story, but I didn't love it. I am coming to the conclusion that Bracken just might not be an author I want to keep reading. I am always excited to read her books and end up feeling a bit disappointed afterwards. This isn't a bad story; I really enjoyed the curse and magic and relic hunting...but it didn't flow very well either and the characters felt awkward. I won't be continuing with the series.

Alexandra Bracken's Silver in the Bone is the first installment in a two installment duology with the second releasing in 2024. This story is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, The Mortal Instruments, The Magicians, and other fantasies with expansive worldbuilding against a contemporary backdrop. Tamsin Lark didn’t ask to be a Hollower. As a mortal with no magical talent, and abandoned by her own parents, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside.

But after her thieving foster father Nash disappeared without so much as a goodbye after searching for King Arthur's dagger, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive. Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys Dye ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring. As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves.

While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, along with Neve, a sorceress of her own uniqueness, dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. This is a story that travels from Boston, to Cornwell, to Avalon in search of a relic capable of breaking an curse or enchantment.

Tamsin ends up finding a legendary flaming sword, but also being betrayed at a variety of turns leaving her scrambling with Avalon survivors to pick up the pieces. In Avalon, there are a variety of characters like Caitriona and Olwen: two priestesses that couldn’t be more different but whom fight for the same thing. The protection of Avalon. The relationship between Tamsin and Cabell is solid yet there's something brewing under the surface. Same could be said of Emrys and Tamsin who are opposite sides of the equation, but are force to work together.

I received an ARC of this book thanks to the publisher and NetGalley. I have a lot of thoughts but overall, I liked the way it ended and I can’t wait to read the sequel so I’m rounding up to 4 stars.

I really enjoyed the characters. Tamsin was scarred and untrusting (traits that were understandable). Even though sometimes I felt that her snark was unnecessary; it made me appreciate the dynamic between her and Neve.

Some of the magic didn’t feel all the way flushed out. Which isn’t a huge deal in urban fantasy since you aren’t resetting the scenery. However, I’m not sure I’m convinced that this needed to be a King Arthur inspired tale. If you swapped out King Arthur for any made up character, I’m not sure anyone would be able to point out the similarities. That being said, I loved Avalon and the Sisters.

This novel is marketed as enemies to lovers but I wouldn’t say the two were enemies. They were definitely competitors. And they both made hasty assumptions about the other. But there wasn’t enough bad blood between the two for me to consider them enemies. To avoid spoilers, I’ll leave my review at that but overall, I enjoyed the read.

Tamsin is a young Hollower who lacks any magic, unlike her pseudo-foster father and brother. She's found ways to keep up with them, but one night while they are out on a mission, their father figure disappears, leaving them alone in the world. Tamsin harbors a lot of resentment and anger as the years go by, especially when she realizes that he had a tool before he left them that could have broken her brother's curse. She and her brother head off to find this tool, and accidentally find themselves in the middle of a much bigger quest.

I looooved this story. I didn't want it to stop. Maybe it's because the main character shares my name, or maybe because it's another fun, unique twist on Arthurian legend, set in the modern day. There were plenty of great, fleshed-out main and side characters, lots of little plot twists, a huge, aching amount of grief, and so many questions left unanswered that make me so excited for the next book.

Big recommend if you enjoy modern fantasy, Arthurian lore, curses, and YA enemies to...maybe lovers? Gotta read it to find out!

Thanks to Random House Childrens/Knopf Kids and Netgalley for the e-ARC.

Despite having Lore on my bookshelf, this was the first book by Alexandra Bracken that I’ve read. While I enjoyed the story overall and Bracken’s writing style, I found that the beginning of the book really dragged for me, and it took me a while to get into the story. It wasn’t until Tamsin and her group travelled to Avalon that things really began to pick up and the story really took off.

As a longtime lover of Arthurian lore, I enjoyed the fact that rather than retell Arthurian legend, Bracken instead created a world in which Arthur, his knights and Merlin had all been real and magic continued to exist long after them. As much as I loved Bracken bringing the stories of King Arthur to life in her book, I found that the story could’ve benefited from better descriptions of the magic systems and types of magic users that existed in her story; for while some of the terms I was familiar with from having read other fantasy books and books inspired by King Arthur, there were some terms where I wasn’t all that familiar with and the description that was given didn’t really clear matters up for me either.

When it came to the characters, I found that I liked the side characters like Emrys and Neve better than I did Tamsyn who is the main character. I found myself bouncing back and forth between liking and hating Tamsyn, especially in the first part of the book. As the book progressed, I found that I slowly began to warm towards her, whereas I fell in love with Emrys almost from the start and Neve I did fall in love with from first meeting before it was revealed who she really was and her role in everything.

Since this is the first book in Bracken’s new series, I believe and hope that things will only get better as the series progresses and I look forward to returning to this world and these characters.

I have to start this review by gushing over Tamsin for a bit. She's our FMC and she's so cool! She's trying to help her brother, she's fighting with this responsibility she has, and, perhaps most importantly, there's an infuriating guy who she also kinda likes? I loved seeing her story progress and slowly beginning to understand why she is the way she is.

There's an amazing found family in this book that should be your reason for checking this out if nothing else. We have lots of side characters that come together to form this little family. They've all been through hard things in their lives and are now going through this adventure. I love them all so much and I wish I could protect them all from the second book, but alas. No one is safe.

Overall, this was a nice first book to a fantastical, thrilling, and kinda violent (in a good way) new series. I'll just be over here "patiently" waiting book two.

Thank you to the publisher, Penguin Teen Canada, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Hollowers, mortals born with magical gifts, often take on jobs to retrieve ancient treasures from crypts and other cursed places. Tamsin, who has no magical talent of her own, was never meant to be a Hollower, but when her foster father Nash disappears without a trace on one of his jobs, turning to this life was the only choice for her and her brother Cabell to survive. Years later, rumors surface that Nash had a powerful Arthurian artifact when he disappeared, a ring that Tamsin believes could cure Cabell of a curse he has suffered from all his life, and she is determined to find it, even if she has to work with her arch-rival Emrys to do so. But they are far from the only two looking for this ring, and the mission quickly takes a turn, leaving them stranded far from home with danger and dark magic on all sides, and a deadly plot unfolding in the shadows.

Literally every book I’ve picked up by this author has been an amazing read for me, so I don’t hesitate to add her books to my TBR now. The combination of fantasy and mythology is one I’ve really come to enjoy in recent years, so I’ve been looking forward to this book for months now and was so excited when I got an eARC!

After reading Lore, I was anticipating this to be something on a similar scale, but this turned out to be quite different. Arthurian mythology was used as the setting of this story, but it didn’t have the feel of a mythology retelling. The lore was used more as a plot device rather than the driving force for the story – which is not a bad thing, but it would have been lovely to delve into this in the same manner as Lore. As for the mythology and stories mentioned, I don’t know enough to say if it was accurate or not, however, it was thoroughly entertaining.

This turned out to be urban fantasy, which I was not expecting, nor was I too happy about it since the genre has always been hit or miss for me. However, the large part of this book doesn’t take place in the modern world and that made it easier for me to read it like I would any other fantasy novel. The sequel however, probably won’t be the same, given how things were left at the conclusion of this book, so I’m a little wary, but the plot has me intrigued enough that I know I’ll definitely pick it up. This reminded me a bit of Legendborn – the Arthurian themes of course, but also with the medieval, mythological and modern all criss-crossing.

The magic system was fun and I’m hoping to learn more about it in the sequel seeing as there wasn’t much focus on it in this book. I loved the world-building and I thought that the depiction of the isle of Avalon which was so completely the opposite of what all the characters were expecting to see was a great twist. It goes without saying of course, that I enjoyed the way the legend of Arthur was woven into the tale and while there was a lot going on initially plot-wise, making it feel a little overwhelming, everything was explained very well as the story unfolded without ever having info-dumps.

The author’s writing style and dialogues have always been one of my favorite things about her works and this book was no exception. The pacing could have been a bit better, it did drag at times, but the action packed scenes later largely made up for it. The narration style made this an engaging read despite being a bit long and it kept me turning the pages, making this hard to put down.

This was a single POV novel, narrated entirely from Tamsin’s perspective. While I would typically expect multiple POVs for this scale of fantasy, this narration style worked rather well. The characters were all reasonably likeable or atleast interesting and even the secondary characters had some extent of character development. Tamsin was a very intriguing character who was badly affected by the events and trauma from her past which made it hard for her to trust anyone, but I loved that despite all this, the story did lead to a lovely found family trope. I’m really curious to know more about Tamsin’s past, there are still many unanswered questions there. Admittedly though, my focus was almost entirely on the plot and there was just so much going on there that I barely had any time to consider the characters more carefully.

Multiple things about the way this book wrapped up left me quite shocked. First, there were atleast three times in those last five or six chapters that made me think that this was the ending – surely there couldn’t be any more twists now, so much has already happened – and then there was yet another twist. And that’s not even starting on the cliffhanger this book closed on. The last quarter of the book was just one thing after another in quick succession and made for a rather epic ending.

So this was one of the titles I predicted would be on my best of shelf this year, and while it didn’t quite make it, this was a phenomenal read and an exceptional start to a new series. Silver in the Bone was a thoroughly engrossing book and I can’t recommend it enough – another fabulous read from Alexandra Bracken! I can’t wait to see where the sequel will go, I have so many questions!! Fantasy fans, make sure this is on your spring/summer TBRs, it’s definitely worth the read!

King Arthur legend, zombies, suspense, mystery, action, all the things I want in a fantasy book. This book built and built up to the climate and then kept going. The would they won’t they, and the love/hate between siblings was fun to follow. Love the twists and turns.

Silver In The Bine was my first Alexandra Braken book, and it was really good. I cant wait to read more of her books. I struggled with the pacing and trying to understand some of the world building, but overall, it was a good King Arthur retelling. I loved the enimes to lovers and the banter that happened between Tamsin and Emery. I can't wait to see how their relationship moves forward in book two.

Picture this: a young female Indiana Jones set in a world full of Arthurian legend. Sound interesting? You’ve come to the right place then!

Silver in the Bone follows Tamsin Lark and her cursed brother, Cabell. It’s been the two of them against the world since their guardian abandoned them. Once Tamsin hears of a magical ring that can remove curses, she’s determined to find it. Naturally, all of the other Hollowers want to find this ring too. Hollowers, which Tamsin and Cabell are, hunt relics and magical items from Arthurian legend. Tamsin is a little different though: she doesn’t have any magical talents. However, that won’t stop her from finding the ring and ending her brother’s curse—even if it means she has to team up with her arch nemesis.

Silver in the Bone is full of adventure. You can expect to find captivating characters, witty banter, enemies to lovers, and magic in this book! Alexandra Bracken knows how to create an intriguing story and world! I enjoyed seeing all of the nods to Arthurian legend. Plus, I’m a sucker for a good sibling relationship 🥹 Tamsin and Cabell would truly do anything for each other.

If you’re looking for an urban fantasy YA read with nods to Arthurian mythology, check this book out!

Look, y’all… I tried. I tried to read this several times. I tried multiple times over several months. I love Alex Bracken. Anytime she releases a new book, I am stoked. And yet, this one didn’t hit for me. I can’t explain it. I just couldn’t get engaged, couldn’t feel invested. And I’m mad about it. I wanted to like it. But I just felt ambivalent. And it bums me out.

YA fantasy at its finest: "Silver in the Bone" is a devastatingly good retelling of Arthurian legend you won’t be able to put down.

Tamsin is no stranger to being left behind. Cynicism and her beloved brother, Cabell, are her only companions these days in a competitive world they’re just barely surviving in. A request for a specific ring that seems too good to be true could be the answer to all their problems. She won’t let anyone - not her nemesis, Emrys, not the other Hollowers, or her lack of magic - get in her way of this chance to finally break Cabell’s curse.

But this already risky and ominous hunt soon turns into something much more dangerous, darker, and terrifying. Tamsin's quest takes her to the mythical land of Avalon, where a curse is devouring the island.

The author does a fantastic job of entangling the reader into the story, amplifying this renowned legend into something extraordinary and original. Not only of her take on this myth but also for the characters that too find themselves entangled in something bigger than themselves.

"Silver in the Bone" is in part a gripping story of loss - lost pasts, lost histories, and lost identities. Characters have and continue to struggle with who they are and their place in the world. With Avalon’s days numbered and dark, gnarled creatures chomping at the bit to feast on them, it’s a race to unlock the past if they are to survive.

"Silver in the Bone" is also a story of courage and hope despite the inconceivable darkness that haunts them. Through emotional highs and lows, Tamsin and other characters learn to put their trust in one another and that they don’t have to carry heavy burdens alone.

I had some issues with the pacing and Tamsin’s cynicism. This aspect of her character was an interesting source of contention in the story. She wears it like a suit of armor or a badge of pride. Although this complements what she secretly desires most in the world, I thought her cynical attitude lasted maybe too long or finally began to melt away too late? And in turn, it made the story feel longer. For lack of better words, at times it felt like no real progress was being made or that characters were just talking in circles and Tamsin not contributing. This book is also nearly 500 pages so that could also have contributed to my issues with the pacing.

I did not see that ending/twists coming! It was incredibly heartbreaking and kind of horrifying. I am still trying to process it all. I will say how the author chose to end book one does well - perhaps too well, haha - in establishing infinitely higher stakes for the next book.

The future is very uncertain for all characters and I can’t even begin to imagine how book two will turn out. Despite their efforts things are only going to get much harder and perilous. I’m greatly looking forward to reading what happens next because - wow! - "Silver in the Bone" was amazing.

Thanks again Knopf Books for Young Readers and NetGalley for the eARC to read in exchange for an honest review!

A unique take on Arthurian legend.

Tamsin and Cabell are found siblings, making a living stealing magical objects for sorceresses after their guardian disappeared. Cabell struggles under a curse, and Tamsin becomes obsessed with an object she thinks may be able to break it: a ring from Arthurian legend.

Tamsin and Cabell find themselves part of a misfit expedition along with Neve, a sorceress who isn't sure how to use her power, and Emrys, a rich guild member who Tamsin loves to call Trust Fund. Together, they find a way to another world, Avalon, straight from Arthurian legend. But things take a dark turn when they find Avalon under a curse. In the end, the characters are conflicted between saving Avalon and themselves.

Neve was my absolute favorite character. As a naive, loveable, nerdy sorceress who's out of her depth yet constantly saving the day, she breaks through the other character's walls through her pure goodness. She refuses to let them stay mopey and distant. Emrys was interesting as a love interest for Tamsin, though it takes her a while to realize he's interested. Tamsin's intense love for Cabell and willingness to do anything to save him made her a heroine to root for.

The ending packs a punch. I didn't love this as much as Lore, but still an interesting read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Silver in the Bone
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Genre: Fantasy, YA
Rating: 5 out of 5

Tamsin Lark didn’t ask to be a Hollower. As a mortal with no magical talent, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside. But after her thieving foster father disappeared without so much as a goodbye, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.

Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.

As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. . . .

I read this entire novel in one sitting—yes, all almost-500-pages—if that tells you anything. I found the setting and worldbuilding fascinating, with the mixture of fantastical elements and the mundane everyday swirled together. Tamsin is frequently kind of a jerk, even if I can understand why she’s so prickly. I loved her relationship with her brother, and the snark between her and Emyrs was great. Some of this was creepy as heck, but I loved what the author did with the King Arthur mythos, and I would read the next book in a hot second.

Alexandra Bracken is a bestselling author. Silver in the Bone is her newest novel.

(Galley courtesy of Random House in exchange for an honest review.)

Wow, I really loved this first in a series (duology??) because it is fascinating with interesting characters and one heck of a premise that delivers. I've read other books by Alexandra Bracken and was incredibly impressed with how visual she writes. I love how Tamsin goes through her thought processes and figures out how to survive in a world that puts her at a disadvantage.

I'm intrigued on how the story is going to go from here, this drops one jaw-dropping mind twist that completely changed everything I took for granted up to that point and I immediately wanted to go back and see where I went so off track.

4.5 stars out of 5.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the eARC! I also had this on pre-order for months!

wow wow wow 😀 send help!

#1- @ Alex Bracken: why?
#2- I need book 2 IMMEDIATELY!

As always, Alex Bracken never disappoints! I really enjoyed Silver in the Bone, especially because of the characters and all the twists and turns along the way!! The audiobook is also INCREDIBLE, the narrators did such a great job!

With that said, it did take me a little while to get acclimated with the Hollower world/Tamsin’s job and the magic system. The first 30-ish% of the book is pretty world building heavy in that sense and there is a lot of terminology to remember. In all honesty this might just be a “me” problem, considering I tend to take things in very slowly when starting any new fantasy. However, after a while I did become more familiar with the lore (pun intended, haha) and felt more immersed in the story (and I must mention how I am incredibly jealous I do not have access to my own All Ways Door to take me anywhere in the world)! I think even if you don’t care for Arthurian legend, you could still enjoy the story as a whole because it brings forth themes of found family, sisterhood, and more 🫶🏼

I want to talk a little bit about the characters because they were truly my favorite aspect of the book! I think Alex really shines when it comes to character arcs and that definitely shows in Silver! (No spoilers below🫶🏼)

-Tamsin “Fun-and-Games” Lark, who is admittedly not the most likable character at first, definitely grew on me as I read. As Neve would say, “You really didn’t make it easy. But then, nothing truly good ever is.”

As the story continues, you begin to see her layers fall away as we explore her past and her present in more depth. I found myself relating to a lot of her fears and inner struggles (constantly pushing people away? fear of vulnerability and being alone? ouch! Alex please just @ me next time). I’m excited to follow the rest of her journey in book 2!

-Neve deserves the world and I would die for her! She became my favorite character almost immediately. Not to be obnoxious, but her vibes were just immaculate and I am very jealous of everyone who now owns her character art card because I want it framed. my sunshine goth queen 😭🫶🏼 I need to see more of her in book 2 or I will sue!

-Emrys (plant boy🌿🌱) Dye was such a fun character! I will admit he sometimes reminded me of Gansey from The Raven Cycle. So if you enjoyed his character in those books, you might really love Emrys! The character dynamics, especially between him and Tamsin were so fun! The way they would bicker and banter back and forth was so entertaining! Although the light hearted moments were fun, I enjoyed seeing the more vulnerable side as well. Chapter 38 and 39 were two of my favorites and I wish we got more quiet moments like these. (Alex Bracken please write a romance book I’m actually begging)

-There were so many other characters I really enjoyed but going through them all would make this so long 😭 (Flea, Betrys, Mari, Olwen, and Caitriona will always be famous!!!)

Going to wrap this up by saying the ending of this book is so wild!! The last 30% was probably my favorite because the writing and imagery was so immaculate!! One scene in particular (no spoilers! 🗡️🌊🗡️) was so sickening and vivid it reminded me of a scene I really loved from the haunting of Bly Manor (Alex Bracken please also write horror I’m begging). Truly chef’s kiss!

In conclusion:
-The characters? Would die for them!
-The last chapter of this book? Jail. IMMEDIATELY.
-The last line? Absolutely criminal.
-The way we have to wait to see what happens? Alex Bracken you will be hearing from my lawyers. 😘

So excited for the next one! 🫶🏼🥰

Hot off the success of Lore, Alexandra Bracken tackles Arthurian legend in this book about Tamsin, an orphan who breaks into crypts to find treasure.

Romance, revenge, dark magic, deadly secrets...

This is a fun ride and a solid fantasy for fans of the genre.
