Thank you, St. Martin's Press, Lex Croucher, and NetGalley, for the ARC.

 

I loved this book. It has Merlin and A Knights Tales vibes, one of my favorite shows and movies. Arthur took me a bit to like, but it was hard to put this book down once I did. The characters are great. The storytelling is fantastic.

 

I love the dynamic between Gwen and Gabe, siblings that grew up as royalty and can only trust each other. There is no way to know what growing up as that can be like. The author did a great job of showing how close they are. I like Bridget and Arthur's friendship. It is sweet. I wish they would have gone a little more in-depth with them. 

 

I liked that they were not King Arthur and Gwen, but it was hundreds of years after. They played off the legend, but it wasn't the main story. 

 

I recommend reading this book.
