So This Is Ever After is a really fun fantasy romcom romp and is perfect as a palette cleanser after a tough book because you need exactly 0 braincells to read it. 

The plot, nor the characters are strongly written, and most of the story hinges on miscommunocation but it's sweet and a very fun, light read. I find it especially cute that everything Matt and Arek tried to plan to set Arek up with his friends, ended up happening to Matt and Arek instead.

Okay so. I read In Deeper Waters first and was surprised by how much I enjoyed that, so I went in to this with high expectations. Plus it’s based on Arthurian legend which I love. 

Unfortunately I was strongly debating stopping at a third of the way through. I cannot stand when modern language and slang are used in stories that are meant to be set in historical/medieval/etc time periods. And the way that the characters spoke made this book seem like it was lifted from a DND campaign or something similar with all of the ways the players might speak. It was just weird to me since this wasn’t an issue in In Deeper Water which is also set in an ambiguous historical fantasy world. 

In a surprising turn of events, Arek and Matt’s secret crush plot line was what I enjoyed the most. I actually enjoy a good angst + misunderstanding plot and that was what kept me reading.

A cute, queer, dungeons and dragons-esque story with a disaster bisexual main character.

And every character is completely oblivious.

A cosy and easy read with lots of funny moments. It is a book where it is very clear what will happen, but the vibes are good so would recommend if that is something you like.
