It's not really a gay retelling of Arthurian legend, it's just set in a world where that all truly happened. This was pretty funny and light-hearted and cute and mocking each other for flirting, with a hopeful ending. And I love friendships where there's shortcuts for schemes, like "diversion 1.5." 
I would like another book to update what happens next with these characters and trying to make their England a better place.
The injuries were described in more detail than was maybe necessary, that felt a little out of the blue, but otherwise, fun read.

I miss young love and pining over someone that doesn’t know you exist.

it felt fairly anticlimactic through most of the story, but at the end it was just WAR. felt like there was no natural progression and it just happened.

AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS

I found the anachronistic turns of phrase and anthropological/scientific knowledge to be extremely distracting, but keep in mind, I'm the most annoying and least fun person you know.
