So I had trouble paying attention to it, but it got better when we dug into the characters, but like...
It was an interesting take on Arthurian legends

So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens
When they describe the squad like you'd describe a D&D group.
I love how the story starts at an end...The group has already gathered and gone on a quest. And now they have to like....live with it.
I love the characters...they're just great.
Am I also here for the cover...yes.
Everyone's a disaster and we live for the chaos.
Stupid clueless blind love-birds. Matt is too pure for this world... So is Arek...both the lovelies.

Once and Future by Cori McCarthy and A.R. Capetta
Ok but mentioning Arthur turning into a squirrel. Heart eyes.
I'm loving all the space and future stuff. Like... There's Wall-e vibes and Star Wars vibes.
Wait.. Mercer...Like Merica...America... yeah that tracks
Everyone's queer and I'm a blushing mess.
Ok so Merlin is a cutie patootie and I love him.
And Val is iconic.
Laughs uncomfortably about Lancelot.
ACE REP. ACE REP. ACE REP.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Ok so like....Can I just like... I don't even know how to react because like....the way that Arthurian legend was pulled in just

The magic system and like... The way that it's been incorporated into contemporary society (ok not incorporated, but like typically with Arthurian legends, the setting is still a fantasy world or a modern fantasy world, rather than like...I can't think of the word, but like-real world)
The plot, the trials, the mystery, the intrigue, the drama.
I knew there was going to be a plot-twist, but like.... it was different than what I expected and like... I'm really glad it was because I have a ship.
The way that we're talking about race and gender and sexism and racism and yes. just yes. Snaps.
We're here for Nick and the squad.
As with every Arthurian story that I read, I am concerned for the happiness of the children.

The Camelot Betrayal by Kiersten White
The tension and the yearning!!!
I like...don't want to get attached to anything or anyone because Arthurian tales are always sad at the end and I do not have the strength.

The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
...I am so stressed out because there are so many ways that the King Arthur story can end (ALL OF THEM IN SADNESS, MIND YOU).
Oh my gosh the deception y'all.
The plot twists.
Lancelot.
Arthur is a cinnamon roll...
