I loved this book overall. The prose of the first few sentences is absolutely beautiful and sets the tone very well. It *feels* Arthurian. The ending bothered me, though. The end of the Arthur story is a tragedy and I can't help but feel a "what if?" about Per's and Nimue's decision. Would what they anticipated really be worse than what traditionally happens in the story?

I liked this one better than the first and I'm looking forward to the next one. I will be very sad if there's not a canon polycule at the end!

Great collection of primary documents, some abridged - I wish that was more clearly indicated. But, overall, this book was really good at showing the political issues facing Native nations for over a century.

4 teenage girls set out to pull a heist on the Titanic. What could possibly go wrong?

There's a countdown to The Thing at the top of every chapter that creates a sense of anticipation and urgent. It was STRESSFUL to read, but I'm glad I did. Also, at least two of the girls are gay.
