I found the pacing a bit slow, until the end - it seemed a little too fast by then.

On the negative side, the writing style was not very dynamic, and the use of certain words (like “yeah” “okay” and “chill”) took me out of the world of the book because they definitely weren’t saying that as slang in the thirteen hundreds. The world building was not great and slightly confusing (the King Arthur and Guinevere and Lancelot of legend existed a few hundred years before this book is set and are now the basis of a cult / religion in opposition to Catholicism) but it sets up enough for the story to mostly make sense.
Overall a very cute YA read if you’re looking for fun banter, found family (including pets!), queer teen angst, and some loosely Arthurian-adjacent lore.

Skin picking, quite a few vomit scenes but they didn't trigger my emetophobia.
