It's an easy read and captivating retelling of the Arthur / excalibur / knights story, which I do not know well enough to compare to this but I believe this one has way more magic in it and it way way more women centric. It's from the perspective of Guinevere and has queer couples in it and complex romance plots. I'm attached to some of the characters and deeply disappointed by the lack of fanfiction I can consume about this series.

Inserts cover because it’s so pretty. Modern ya retelling of the King Arthur legend, which I don’t know much to begin with as it is. I also recently finished rereading the cruel prince which was so so good

Pretty fun to see all of the earlier Arthurian legends consolidated in a single work. Loved the not-quite-history not-quite-novel not-quite-epic-poem format of it. Simply amazing 15th century prison fanfiction.

I first found it randomly at a bookstore when I was 16. I was very into fantasy and gays at the time (still am), and this was the first book I've read that combines both. It's such a fun take on the whole "chosen ones" trope, and you somehow root for every one of the main characters, even when they do some fucked up shit. I highly recommend it to anyone who's into queer witches and good character development :)

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
