WHY SHOULD YOU READ THIS BOOK?

GENDERBENT QUEER KING ARTHUR. IN SPACE.

No, really, Arthur #42 is an Arabic immigrant named Ari on the run from the corporation that pretty much runs the galaxy. She’s also pansexual.

Merlin, who has aged backwards and is now 17, is gay. (Yes, he totally had a thing for one of the previous Arthurs and finds love again this time with one of the crew)

RENFAIRE PLANET. Yes, tacky cheesy renaissance festival themed planet.

With the most badass bisexual queen, Gwen.

Absolutely the most amazingly diverse queer cast. Srsly, of the main crew, there is only one cishet character in the main cast. ONE.

There’s an AroAce knight, a demigender knight and a non-binary knight (who’s pretty much considered the hottest of the crew)

SWORD WIELDING LADIES KICKING ASS.

it’s a perfect cocktail of Arthurian lore and space opera

DRAGONS

I cannot say much about Morgana without spoilers, but I absolutely love the angle they went with her character.

READ IT NOW. Second book comes out in 2020!

Just one?

Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy

I finished this one yesterday and had a great time reading it. Do you like space and sword fights? How about King Arthur? How about a lady King Arthur who kicks a whole lotta ass?

This YA adventure novel is about Ari, the 42nd incarnation of King Arthur, and her quest to take down the evil Mercer Company. Merlin is stuck as a teenager, Morgana is stuck as a ghost, and Ari is stuck fixing the universe’s mess. It’s got amazing queer POC rep, shenanigans, a whole planet that’s a Renaissance Faire, prison breaks, intergalactic conflict, and the wlw characters don’t die! Ari has two moms! Lam is genderfluid! Merlin is gay! Ari is a lesbian (with a sword)! Jordan is ace! And this story is so fun!

And the authors just got engaged!

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue and it’s sequel The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

I LOVE THESE BOOKS. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. The voice is spectacular, the characters are such incredibly lovable disasters, and the adventure is so much goddamn fun. This was the most fun I’ve ever had reading a book.

Gentleman’s Guide is about Monty, a rich pretty boy bisexual disaster, Percy, his best friend in the whole world, and Felicity, Monty’s super nerdy younger sister who wants to study medicine, going on the Grand Tour of Europe, which is what young people used to do in the 1700s to get all the partying out of their system before they had to be productive members of society.

Monty is in love with his best friend Percy. Monty is also a huge mess. Percy is the sweetest cinnamon roll. Felicity is so done with her brother’s nonsense. And then Monty yoinks something that sends them all on a wild adventure around the Continent. Please read this book. You will not regret it.

The sequel is about Felicity’s own adventures after the events of Gentleman’s Guide and is an amazing girl gang romp through the high seas. Also Felicity is ace and I love her so much. And there’s a big cuddly dog. [And a novella coming out in November I am so excited you have no idea.]
