This was fun and cute! I liked the alternate history sort of thing the author did with England and Arthurian legends and that the main characters find love letters between King Arthur and Lancelot because hi hello QUEER PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE?!
Anyway, Arthur is babygirl and I’m also in love with Bridget (how can you not be) and I loved the cat! Books should have more orange cats in them.
I do have to wonder why sexism and homophobia and religious bigotry exist in this book but racism doesn’t? The main male character is brown and the female love interest is also brown but no one objects to them being nobles? Idk, there should have been more thought put into that. Seems like a weird thing to gloss over.
