The premise of this book was intriguing and exciting, as the amount of books detailing Arthurian Legend is limited. I enjoyed following the protagonist Tamsin as she and her brother, Cabell, race powerful sorcerers to find the Ring of Dispel and unlock its power. I loved seeing her grow as she faced challenges from all angles, emotionally, physically and romantically. Furthermore, the novel was so well written that I fell in love with the characters, and I became empathetic to their situation, putting myself in their shoes and mimicking their sadness, determination and hope. My only criticism is that the plot was slow to start, however, as the mystery and the quest unfolded, it became a more intriguing novel. I am eagerly awaiting a sequel!
