(7/10)- This was one of my most anticipated reads and it did not disappoint. Some of the stories weren’t as good as others, but overall it was very enjoyable. A few stood out to me, and the entire collection was very interesting. It was a good interpretation of old legends and I liked it. I would recommend it to most people looking for this kind of book, even if they don’t know Arthurian stories (like I don’t).

Really enjoyable collection with a great line up of contributors. Not all the stories completely worked for me, but I loved seeing all the different approaches, characters, and time periods.

a reread that confirmed this is my favorite anthology to date, these reworked Arthurian stories feel so fun and magical and alive!! I love them, will probably reread again next year
