As far as Arthurian retellings go, this has got to be one of my favorites. I love a good "disguises self as twin sibling to get to do a job I always wanted". I also can't get enough of poor disgruntled Arthur not understanding why he might have feelings for this new "boy" mage when he's never felt that way before. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a cuter adventure and romance and I can't wait to read the next book!
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Violence
I'm catching up on reviews, so might have missed some content warnings since it's been a bit since I read it. However, I think this was a pretty easy read in terms of the content.
