King Arthur sucks and Knights are useless.
This modern retelling of Arthurian knights in a dystopian world that isn't that far removed from a future many of us fear.
At a time where climate change is at an ultimate crisis, the air is polluted, ocean levels rising, riots, refugee camps, and all manner of extremist cults and organizations, it's easy to see that Britain (and the world) is in peril. But that's what Kay was made for. A former night of the round table, Kay is resurrected from the earth whenever Britain just... Can't get it's shit together....
This book was fun, and a blunt reflection of many of the best, and worst things about humanity. With a bunch of magic and a touch of talking squirrels.
But I have a bone to pick with the author. BRING π BACK π DANDO π
I am irrationally annoyed by this...
But other than that, I say check it out!
