A very cute read, with some surprisingly dark turns, that has been on my list for a while. While initially I was only interested in the Gwen chapters, I did find myself warming up to Arthur throughout the later half of the book.

I was shocked by the twists and turns the plot took so close to the end!
While the attempted coup had been building the entire time, it just felt very sudden and kind of squeezed in.
Those moments felt a bit rushed, but otherwise I enjoyed the characters and their burgeoning queer relationships.

This was fun and cute! I liked the alternate history sort of thing the author did with England and Arthurian legends and that
the main characters find love letters between King Arthur and Lancelot because hi hello QUEER PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE?!
 
Anyway, Arthur is babygirl and I’m also in love with Bridget (how can you not be) and I loved the cat! Books should have more orange cats in them. 

I do have to wonder why sexism and homophobia and religious bigotry exist in this book but racism doesn’t? The main male character is brown and the female love interest is also brown but no one objects to them being nobles? Idk, there should have been more thought put into that. Seems like a weird thing to gloss over.

A really good, fun read. A medieval courting story about Camelot's heirs turned queer.
I found the pacing a bit slow, until the end - it seemed a little too fast by then.

I loved the humor in this book.  The way the characters interacted was nicely done as well. 

When I read this I wasn’t in much of a mood for it but pushed through and ended up really enjoying it.  The plot wasn’t too confusing as some fantasy books can be, but this kept my interest.  It was such an entertaining read.

And the queer rep was better than I was expecting actually.

Spice Level: n/a

Release Date: 28, November 2023
Rep: Sapphic (Main Couple), Achillean (Main Couple), Thai (Side Character), Biracial Iranian/White (Side Character)
