I didn’t read any description of this book before I read it, that’s pretty normal for me. I don’t know why the cover did not clearly communicate me that this would be LGBTQIA+ themes, but I was quickly surprised. It was so sweet, and the character development in Arthur was so charming to witness. The characters may not be amazingly written, like from a literary perspective, but they are such sweetie pies. It was a joy to read them. Also I love historical fiction, re-examining old stories, and this did that in a way that was different than what I had initially expected, and enjoyed it so much more, because it was even further a departure than I thought it would be.
