Content: There is swearing, including multiple f-bombs, and talking about an older teenager getting drunk. It�s in the Teen section (grades 9+) of the bookstore.

Gwen is a princess in Camelot (not�that�Gwen, though), and the only thing she does NOT want to do is marry her betrothed, Arthur. She�d much rather spend her days in her routine, and pine after Lady Bridget Leclair, the first lady knight. It�s a good thing she discovers that Arthur feels much the same about their marriage as she does, primarily because he likes boys, and is developing a crush on Gwen�s brother Gabriel.�

There are other plot points in this book � like the threat of unrest by the �cultist� (the people who think that there really used to be magic back in Arthurian times), and some personal growth on the part of both Gwen and Arthur, but mostly it�s just four queer teens romping about in medieval England.�

And you know what? That was a ton of fun. It�s kind of like a queer�A Knight�s Tale�� not especially historically accurate, but a lot of fun anyway. I loved the narrators and the changing perspectives, and it was just a lot of fun to listen to. Plus: it is a spin on the Arthurian tale, which I�m always here for.�

Highly recommended.�
