Really enjoyed this gender bent King Arthur YA fantasy!
Emry is such a fun heroine, I love her guts and ambition, and the way she keeps fighting agains't the kingdom's outdated views on traditional gender roles. Her relationship with Arthur is a joy to read, their banter and friendship slowing turning into romance was really fun.
And Lancelot is so great! I love the bisexual rep in this book, the way they just don't care about someone's gender is fabulous. Princess Guinevere took a while to grow on me, but I liked how her character developed, and the found family that formed with everyone by the end of the book. I did think Morganna could have been given a better role- I really thought she would have sympathized with Emry more, and cared about her child more.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series, and learn more about this world and how the characters will end up. Lots of fun in this book!!
