It's been a while since I liked something Keri Arthur has released but this was a fun one. I'll definitely pick up book 2 when it comes out.

Loved the book, HATED the ending. Arthur's work doesn't need these kind of marketing tricks. It's beneath her and I'm disappointed in her.

It's an Arthurian legend retelling that's original while simultaneously twisting all kinds of lore and tropes to suit. It's fresh and fun and I'm looking forward to the next.

But that ending sucked really hard. One star deducted (I usually only give a single star for endings like that).
