This was a fun and mostly lighthearted read that I really needed in the moment after finishing a heavy sci-fi! I loved the set up we have of two queer characters in an arranged marriage that end up falling for a female knight and the prince. The relationships are what really stands out in this arthurian legend inspired story. I adored seeing the sibling relationship between Gwen and Gabe and the eventual blossoming friendship of Arthur and Gwen despite them having zero romantic interest in each other. I also adored the romance though it felt like the romance of either character didn't get nearly as much sceem time as I would have liked making both feel a little flat in comparison to the friendships but still highly enjoyable.
