I’m enjoying this books, it’s definitely not perfect but I’m on the edge of my seat.

That said Nehal is driving me a little crazy. From a logical perspective I don’t think anything she’s said or done is unwarranted, but she’s far too judgmental for someone who’s never had to face any consequences for anything until about a week ago. You have no right to call people cowards when they actually have to face consequences that you can get out of. Her greatest strength is that she doesn’t care about what anyone thinks of her but it’s her greatest weakness too because it means she also doesn’t care to listen to anyone who’s smarter or more cautious or just deserving of her consideration for being her friend.

Ok I’m still having fun but I think it’s official; not everything needs to be adapted into modern day settings. A random guy cosplaing boba feitt will just never be as cool as a part fae green knight.

I think there’s this impression that adaptations in modern day settings are the only way for people to truly relate to old stories and myths but this is so not true in my experience. Sometimes they are fun, but sometimes I feel like they’re diluting the things that make the story relatable or relevant in an effort to make the story more relatable 🤦‍♀️

I’ve been wanting to pick this up for a while; an autistic mc and Arthurian legend is right up my alley and I’m still on a hangover from the everlasting so timing is perfect. Lol

Idk if this is as fun if you aren’t a fan of Arthurian legends (it could use a little more action) but I’m having a great time and I want to geek out a bit. I’m really enjoying seeing all the familiar characters in a new forms. I’m loving our second mc too, the Valkyries as a police force for the knights is such a clever idea and I love an over 30 coming of age story.
Also can’t wait to peel back the layers of drama at the center of this mystery. I’m not surprised Lance is potentially involved somehow. In any adaptation if you want to find the drama or the fault lines, look for Lance.
