Gwen & Art is a modern, queer retelling of King Arthur of Camelot including Guinevere (Gwen) and Merlin with a new knight (Bridget) and sidekicks. This YA story was quick-paced and fun. I really liked the story and all of the characters.
I also liked the reminder (through a revelation in the story) that queer people have existed forever, even if they weren't allowed to live their lives openly and that we have the power to change the future for others to be able to live as themselves.
