I enjoyed some of this book. However I found the main character to be arrogant and selfish. She was hypocritical and thought she knew best in situations she really didn’t. She forced the love interest into uncomfortable situations and was downright rude.

Graphic: Racism and Grief

Minor: Homophobia

This book does depict grief. And I believe it does this well. It also portrays racism in moderate and explicit circumstances.

one of the side characters calls the main character a nappy-headed bitch.

there are situations that the characters seems racist. I would personally disagree but that is my own opinion.

at the end Tor says she does not wish to follow Bree as Arthur. I believe this is a fair reaction as she has just been told everything she believed in life is a lie. I personally would be a bit miffed if this happened to me. I do not believe this has much to do with Bree’s race but others may disagree.

Also there is mild homophobia.

the reaction they have to Greer being made squire

this is very mild and most LGBTQ+ scenarios are handled well.
