I really loved this book. It took a while for me to really get absorbed by it, but by the second half I just couldn‘t put it down. The characters are lovable but not without their flaws, and the story between them is bittersweet. I had not expected to root so much for their friendship in the end. Very lovely :)

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.

A very pleasant and heartfelt read, got through the book quite fast—couldn't put it down! There were a handful of chapters that I found a bit difficult to get through but the earlier chapters I enjoyed immensely. From time to time, I did want to whack Arthur with a wet piece of bread or I was found practically screaming at Gwen in my mind, but the best part was seeing their progression as I ate through each chapter. I will say my favorite character was the cat, Lucifer :)

The ending wasn't what I was expecting but it was a welcome one, a very sweet read and full of romance and very much Gwen & Art not in love.

I wasn't super into this book at first. I found Arthur annoying, and I think part of that was the narrator for his chapters in the audiobook. I was hoping he might go through some character development and I'd like him more, which happened so gradually I didn't even realize it was happening until I was practically crying for him. The book in general has a bit of a slow start and it took me a while to get invested in the characters and get a sense of where the plot was going. The end kind of rushed at me and I found it hard to put down in the last 70%. There is a pretty big tonal shift after that point as well, I didn't expect it to go as dark as it did. I kind of wish this had stayed a bit more lighthearted.
