Honestly what a funny, well thought out story. I am a sucker for a good queer romance and this one really got me! The characters were all flawed in their own ways but completely lovable. The banter between Art and Gwen and just Sidney’s whole character really shined to make this funny. Sure, the subplot was a bit predictable but, who cares?! The book wasn’t about the subplot, it was about the character development. This was just a fun read and interesting retelling. 

My one complaint is that the book was so character driven that there was very little setting description. I think the idea is that everyone has their own idea of Camelot and Excalibur and medieval England, but a bit more description of the castle and grounds would have been helpful!  Other than that, this was a great, quick read. I would read one of the author’s books again for sure.
