This timeframe and setting is like catnip for me, Arthurian legend? Sign me UP. But I’m getting increasingly annoyed by this omniscient narrator that comes out of nowhere. “Little did she know - it was about to get much worse!” 🙄

I’ve often heard people talk about how rich the magic and world systems are in Sanderson’s books and holy crap, they are 100% right. Work has sped up so my reading time has lessened, but I’m still picking this up every chance I get.

I don’t know what this book has done to me but I have not been able to put it down. In the course of today, I got somewhere around page 270. That’s a lot more pages than I can usually get through in a day, but this world is so mysterious and intriguing and I’m enjoying the ride

So easy to read… approachable but still an undertone of creepiness so far

I’m feeling rather in the mood for a good book with a time travel/parallel universes storyline… something not super heavy, like Pivot Point, All our Yesterday’s, Parallel, etc.
Any recommendations you can think of to help are very much appreciated!! 😀

“Does smacking yourself in the face help with that?”
“No.” I laughed, shoulders trembling as tears dampened my lashes.
