genre: fantasy
Owen Mallory has studied the life of Sir Una Everlasting ever since he was old enough to know that it was a choice. Una is the knight of Dominion's legends, she is the woman who saved the country and reminded soldiers for centuries who and what were worth dying for. So when an ancient manuscript lands in Owen's lap that tells her story in the hand of someone who witnessed it, it feels like an actual dream come true.
And he's not completely wrong.
Because time in this book is a slippery thing. So slippery that it can become hard to know what happened when. For Owen and Sir Una, there is both time and memory but can their paths ever cross without tragedy? Owen is determined to find out.
I genuinely enjoyed this beautiful book. I love that it is an adult fantasy with adult feelings and problems. I loved the gender-y romance with a large and complex and wicked strong and capable person still having feelings for a skinny scholary bookworm. I believed all of this. The time travel stuff is a LOT and enough for a time slip novel, it is a bit hard to keep things straight, but it was SO worth it for me to do so. I feel completely for the romance here and the plot twisted the perfect amount to keep things interesting but never feel TOO much.
If you like dragons and time travel and lady knights and ancient books, I do recommend this one highly.
