Super fun, unique, and a fuck you to white British nationalists. I do not think I've ever read a King Arthur retelling where King Arthur is the villain, but it works so well here. I loved the play on the stories, the way magic flows in this story, and the characters. So delighted by this whole thing.

This was so much fun!

Arthurian legend? Secrets, prophecies & quests? Undead knights of the round table?
Stunning art, to boot?
