VERY much enjoyed and heavily annotated. Many thoughts about arthurian legend (as you do) and relationships (as you do). Also appreciated reading about a trans character and realized that I do not get to do that often. So that was nice. I appreciated that each of the main POV characters were distinct and that I could tell which one was narrating even without chapter headers. Some of the plot twists were very predictable. Unfortunate! Some of the characters REGRESSED imho and some of the characters were absolute icons and besties . Let's chat! If anyone has thoughts I desire a discussion of epic proportions. What themes stood out to you?? What did you think of the sibling relationships?? Did you expect the twists???
