Description
A new King Arthur has risen and she's got a universe to save
Coming to terms with your identity is always difficult. But for Ari, the 42nd reincarnation of King Arthur, it just got a whole lot more complicated.
Gender-bending royalty, caustic wit and a galaxy-wide fight for peace and equality all collide in this epic adventure.
With an awkward adolescent Merlin and a rusty spaceship, this is the Arthurian legend as you have never before seen it.
Advance Praise
'A rip-roaring, no holds-barred, gloriously queer reinvention of Arthurian legend.' Malinda Lo, author of Ash
'Oh my goodness, I loved it so much! Utterly compelling, brilliantly witty, and delightfully queer, I absolutely raced through it and loved every second. It was so refreshing to see LGBTQIA characters front and centre of the plot, being the heroes and saving the day. And the humour is sharp and genuinely funny – who doesn’t love a barbed Spice Girls reference?!' Simon James Green, author of Noah Can't Even
'Fun and fearless, this story romps right across the galaxy and into your heart.' Amie Kaufman, author of the Illuminae Files series

Look what I finally finished 🙌🏼 only took me a month 🙄 I'm actually unsure as to why it took me so long to finish this book. I just kept putting it down and not picking it back up. I am happy to confirm it's a problem with me and not the book though 😁
A gender-bent retelling of King Arthur, Once & Future follows our King, Ari, on a journey to destroy Mercer and unite humankind, with the back up of her knights (brother and friends) and Merlin.
Not only is this a gender-bent retelling, but it also has fantastic representation for LGBTQI+, its set in space, there are several romances and there's a dragon, or two! I mean, what more could you possibly want?!
I loved this story! The relationships were cute but also HOT 😍 and I adored Ari's relationship with Merlin. I'm a huge King Arthur fan and I thoroughly enjoyed piecing the story together, with the knights and figuring who was who. Brilliantly written. Amy Rose and Cori nailed it!
4.5🌟 from me, highly recommend
