I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
What a ride! Arthurian legend with a queer twist mixed with social commentary about climate change/activism--the combination works surprisingly well. While it drags a little toward the end, I found this to be immensely readable because of the characters (some of whom are hilariously dumb and some of whom are bitingly sarcastic--the types balance each other out nicely) and the Pratchett-esque humor. It's entirely different from what I've been reading lately, and it's refreshingly honest and full of adventure.
