The Winter Knight
The Winter Knight | Jes Battis
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A queer, modern Arthurian tale set in contemporary Vancouver. An autistic college student who is the latest reincarnation of Sir Gawain is drawn deeper and deeper into the family secrets and round table feuds he's spent his life trying to avoid while a Valkyrie tries to figure out who is murdering knights before the body count climbs.

Myths can be rewritten. As Wayne learns when a mysterious force begins killing off modern knights. He must work with a Valkyrie, a monster, and a rune smith to stop it.

This was a really interesting twist on Arthurian legend! Urban fantasy & a diverse cast, which I loved. Really loose world building, a too quick romance, & pacing that was all over the place, which I enjoyed less. But once I got to the last 1/4 I was in! 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

This was by no means a poorly written book, but I just never got invested in it fully. I think I was comparing it too much to Legendborn, so it's my own fault. Good use of #Arthuriana, but not a lot of action, so if you're more into character exploration, you might fare better than I did. #fantasy #urbanfantasy #retelling
