I really enjoyed this King Arthur-esque story! King Arthur is a favorite of mine and I am quite picky about how Arthurian legend is handled and I’m not mad at this one! The world building was solid, it was long but didn’t feel long because it was full of action and intrigue which I appreciate. I’m in the mind that one should not use 5 words when 3 would handle it and this book, while long, did not have many instances where this was a case. It wasn’t wordy, it was well thought out and words were used strategically. Much of the length came from dialogue between the characters and I do love a good dialogue. I definitely enjoyed this!
