I flew through this book & absolutely loved it. It was such a fun way to reimagine Shakespeare's Twelfth Night in a modern setting and had me hooked to the very end.

The way all the characters were adapted into their new circumstances was really well done and they were all very fleshed out. The focus on "nerd culture" was really interesting and all the discussion around it made me want to join in (oh to one day go to a renaissance fair....). I will say the opening scene being an American Football game really threw me in a loop, since I know nothing about the sport and wasn't expecting it at all.

Would recommend 100% (and already have)!

Thank you Tor Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Tor Teen and NetGalley for the eARC of Twelfth Knight! All opinions in this review are my own.

I love Twelfth Night so when I heard Twelfth Knight was a modern retelling of it, I knew I had to read it!

Unsurprisingly, I absolutely loved Twelfth Knight! Despite knowing the story already, I liked this modern retelling that included many references to a Dungeons & Dragons-like game and RPG video games. Follmuth includes new twists on the storyline too in order to make it fresh. Even if you don't know the original play, Twelfth Knight is a fantastic YA romance that I highly recommend!

Just love that this was based around who gets to be angry. Who is allowed to feel those emotions and who gets called crazy or a b.

Bash and Vi are twins and this is based off of Twelfth Knight but in high school and that is the name of a popular quest video game. The relationship between the qb/student pres is perfect. She's the VP and is the only one who does her job. Love their slow appreciation of eachother because of how different they are. And each of the friends and ex's went through their own growth of self discovery as well. So much happening like it does in high school but the romance between Vi and Jack. Loved how diverse the cast is and how many topics of being that age it addressed.
