As someone who loved the Merlin TV series, and fantasy books in general, I was excited to see the concept behind this book! Its obviously a bit different than the traditional tales (cue Merlin being a girl) but it was still amazing! The characters were fresh and exciting, and the whole book was uplifting and a fun read. I also always appreciate it when books can include queer characters, but not make that the one and only aspect of their personality. I think the author did a great job of giving the characters a multi-faceted personality, and then adding in or hinting at their sexual orientation. This is always the way straight characters have been written, and it great to see some representation being given to other sexualities.
Overall I thought this book was great and can’t wait to read the next in the series! To comment on the cover, it does read a bit young for me, but the bulk of the book is what matters most!
