This story is "Black Girl Magic," meets Arthurian legend. This was about 500 pages, I feel like the first half was a bit slow, and then the second half picked up and had all the action.
The story was overall amazing!
I'm giving this 5 out of 5 stars.

I love the magic system, the characters and themes of family and ancestry. The only draw back for me in this book is the romance, I do think it was well written, I just think it wasn't for me.
Can't wait to pick up the sequel!
