I loved this book. I think there needs to be more books like this out there that show there is/should be nothing wrong with being who you are whether that’s LQBTQ+ or straight. Such an amazing book & series and I loved how they took the legend of King Arthur and made it completely different.

A good sequel to our favorite queer King Arthur reinterpretation in space, this time set actually back in the original Camelot. There's quite a bit of time travel paradox happening here, and some convoluted explanations of things, but the characters and the quest are still engaging and fun to read.

This duology is officially one of my favorite Arthurian retellings. I thought I'd be put off by the time travel element in what was previously a science fiction future story but this did such a good job of adding new plot lines without dropping previous ones.

The bit at the end with

Val and Merlin reviewing (and ROASTING) some modern retellings was *chefs kiss*.
