2021 Pride Read-A-Thon Book Review:
Once & Future
🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡/5🗡
I have a real love of retellings. Do you? This one is AMAZEBALLS!! It’s an Arthurian retelling. Set in outer space. In the far distant future. And it’s loaded with amazing Queer characters. And adventure. And a kind of sorta dragon. And romance. It’s brilliant.
Arthur has been coming back over and over and he doesn’t complete his quest cycle and it starts over. Ari is the 42nd Arthur. And Ari is girl.
Each time the cycle starts over Merlin has aged- backwards. He’s getting younger. So now he’s in his upper teens!!
All the bones of the legend of King Arthur are here, Excalibur, Guinevere, Lancelot, the round table, Morgana, The Lady of The Lake…but the twists are exciting and new and some are unexpected. I really and truly loved this adventure. Even in the moments it gutted me and broke my heart.
I hope to get to the conclusion of this Duology this month. I NEED to know what happens!!!
