Unabridged Audiobook
Incredible! This book had me enthralled. Beautifully magic system, enchanting arthurian legend, the ugly truth of slavery and racism today.
I adore this book. My 6th time reading, first time listening. The narrator’s English accent is atrocious though, stick to Southern, it’s painful to hear
I love this book! I've listened to it twice now and I think it is a perfect example of what YA fantasy should be. I love the main character and the world. The narrator is really great but her pronunciation of the Welsh is a little iffy.
Incredible book,highly recommend it! I'm not as inclined to read books set in high school (which is not the case here) or with (main) characters who are 16 or under, but this book? I'm so, so glad I picked it up anyway, because it's phenomenal. It's a very interesting twist on Arthur & the round table legend first and foremost, but also deals with heavy topics such as racism, the death of a parent and the aftermath of that. Bree being a black woman of color is definitely refreshing, and it's not just the skin tone and hair; it's a black woman of color through and through. The culture, history, and sadly but very realistically deals with racism as well. It's great to read from that perspective. Enjoyed the book so much that I simply couldn't wait and got the sequel right after I finished this one and practically binged it!
This was such a fun listen!
extraordinary world building, plot and writing.
