I'm a real sucker for an Arthurian tale, and I finally got this from the library, the waiting list was quite long! I bailed on the Magician books by this author, they just weren't for me, I think, but so far I am loving this one!

I was so excited about the Sylvia Plath book that came out last week I forgot to mention that this one was also just published! 💙🩵💙🩵 I think this is Lev Grossman's first book since the Magicians Trilogy, so I'm very excited to see how his writing has changed/improved since then! Plus, it's a King Arthur book, so that's exciting in and of itself! 🥰 And lastly, LOOK HOW CHONKY IT IS! 💕📖
pickThis epic, ambitious, yet tenderly human Arthurian retelling begins with an aspiring knight who arrives at Camelot only to find the legendary King dead, Merlin buried alive by his protégée, and a mere handful of Round Table heroes hanging on—and they need to save a Britain torn between fated past and changing future, old gods and new. I loved the rich exploration of religion, self-acceptance, and found family across the diverse cast of characters.
gonna be hanging out talking #Arthuriana with @Runwithskizzers and Lex Croucher and Loyalty on Saturday the 20th! should be fun, details at loyaltybookstores.com/gwenandart
