A high three. I was all in for Rani/Gwen/Lance polyamory. Also I wish I’d read this years ago bc Lance is ace and it explicitly states that asexual does not mean incapable of/uninterested in a romantic relationship and in 2017 seeing that on a page would have been groundbreaking (for me).
But the rest of the plot was just sort of…idk. It was there. I didn’t feel much about it.

This is a fun quick read with a modern and quirky take on the Arthur tale.

Oh yeah, this is good. POC character who is at LGBT and heir to Excalibur. Count me in.

This is a very diverse book featuring a lead woman of color, asexual characters and two wlw. It's an interesting retelling of the tale of King Arthur. It is my understanding that this book was pulled before it really got the chance to take off and that's a shame. Its a very unique style and I think it's very brave.
The art style is not one I'm used to but it's very charming. I appreciate that it reminds me of a story book. The plot is pretty easy to follow, although I felt as though it moved a little too fast, particularly with how quickly everyone adjusted to Gwen being a part of their lives. This whole thing reads like a crazy dream and that's probably what appealed to me the most about it. It was fun, it was adorable and it explicitly talked about asexuality and what that means. So, I give it props for that, although it probably won't be on my top 10 at the end of the year.
3 stars.

This is a great start! The Once and Future Queen is a mixed race bisexual woman. Gwen is incredibly brave and has a crush on her! I am intrigued!
This is probably the most interesting version of Merlin I've seen!
Definitely picking up the next one!

Very cool concept. I'm curious to see where this goes. (And I love the art.)
