"Finally finished the first story. King Athur lore is easier to digest than reading the real thing, for me, as the writing is quite difficult to get used to and tires my ADHD brain easily. I lost interest about halfway and have been struggling to get the rest read.

“Words have given me wings when I’ve needed an escape. Books breathe life into the mundane and have brightened the darkest of days for me with merely some pretty prose and hope. Some of my favorite nights were when my candlestick melted and dawn chased away the night while I was lost in a maze of words and wonder.”
― Olivia Rose Darling, Fear the Flames
