I really liked this retelling of the Arthurian Legend. 

It’s a modern story that combines fantasy and sci-fi for an apocalyptic story featuring the heroes of the Arthurian Legend. It’s very heavy on the environment and the impact humans have had on it…hence the apocalyptic setting. 

It is a bit cliche in some regards, but I enjoyed the overall message of the book. 

I also liked the representation offered in the book which features a BIPOC FMC and MMC, along with LGBTQIA+ representation. 

I also really liked the author’s writing and humor, it reminded me of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s style of storytelling. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Ballantine for the copy of this eARC.
