1. Rip my boy Tristan. He should be allowed to indulge his habit of cucking kings.

2. Arthur, are you saying you have *never* eaten your wife out before?

We can’t be doing all this right after holding a rock, paper, scissors tournament

So, Lancelot is definitely gay. While I do not wish to boo yaoi, it does cheapen the friendship between him and Vera a bit by making this a gay best friend situation. The book hasn’t actually done an official reveal yet, so I could be wrong, but I don’t think I am.

I have a feeling that I will not like this book, but for whatever reason, I am determined to give it a try anyways. I feel like I’ve never read a King Arthur retelling that I’ve actually liked. Despite this, and despite the fact that I stated I would never do this again at the end of my Tam Lin presentation, I am contemplating an Arthurian reading project. This would definitely entail a lot more books though….

Read this author’s later Beauty and the Beast retelling, but didn’t like it much. Let’s see if she got it right the first time.

Now, Mr. Peter Beagle, what do you mean you consider Something Rich and Strange as Patricia McKillip’s take on Tam Lin????? “Take” singular???? I agree that SR&S has the mark of a Tam Lin story, but I think if there is a definitive McKillip take on Tam Lin, it’s her actual, full-blooded Tam Lin retelling! How do I get Peter Beagle to read Winter Rose, because I’m assuming he hadn’t by 2016.

I think when one is reading a short story collection, they would not expect half of it to actually just be a standalone novel. Now do I count myself as having read both this book and Something Rich and Strange? Or just this one?

Ethan kinda rocks. Likes Rocky Horror Picture Show, has the art of disposing of dead bodies down to a science, regularly steals cars. He’s fully and outright evil, but that adds to the charm.

I do like Armand more now that he’s kind of snapped

Also, it took me forever to realize that this book takes place in the same world as her Gilded/Cursed duology. I do not pay attention to pantheons….

Honestly wish he wasn’t possessed. Would have been more fun if he was just like that.

Ah, okay, it was celiac disease. Always read the author’s note, kids.

There’s a horse loose in the inn

There was only one horse stall….

Reading a book at a party…very Y/N of you, Aric.

She keeps mentioning her stomach roiling. I fear that the chronic illness may actually be IBS.

Time to see what happens to that horse

I will clear out my currently reading list, so help me

Let’s actually finish this one this time

Sidonie cannot catch a break, can she?

Oh to be Brunhilda, getting to witness all the drama that just happened without having to be personally involved in it in anyway.

Absolutely not the book’s fault, but I’m never going to be able to take the word “ejaculated” seriously when it’s used in a non-sexual context. It has been throughly tainted.
