Nvm I forgot Mordred existed lmao

If what I think has happened happens ngl I will be gagged

I don’t know why I’m reading this because I didn’t like the first book that much. I just wanted an Arthurian retelling I guess 🤷‍♀️

I’m saying this now, as someone who in not bilingual, I get the impression that Accolon of Gaul is written by someone who is not bilingual because why does he talk like that.

And why is Guinevere always an asshole. I’m tired of that can we not do that please

‘Fulvia’s marriage to Antony was ever so slightly scandalous because Antony was, in fact, ever so slightly scandalous.’ Love that for him

Can we stop with this butter chicken thing PLEASE

I don’t think I’ve read anything less romantic than calling your significant other ‘My dear butter chicken’ like can we please be serious

Lucy’s diary chapters I find quite boring. Like, she knows everything, there’s no interesting internal conflict. There’s no push and pull. It just falls quite flat for me.

I’m actually finding the style of narration really quite unbearable. The author is somehow managing to make everyone incredible annoying.

‘Of all the bad years (and there were many)’
We are off to a FABULOUS start

I’m finding the writing style quite jarring. It’s very choppy and the chapters are quite short. Im someone who likes a slow, slow meander generally, I find right now I’m chopping and changing perspectives quite a lot

No fucking way

The ‘oh shit’ moment

First fantasy book I’ve ever read in which the mc has got her period. Incredible.

Interesting so far. It’s definitely more fantasy than romantasy atm, but I’m intrigued.

I think I was missing the whimsy of a heist. For a book that I picked up because I was pissed off I’m really enjoying it.

I find it so funny that the free for this heist is a conwoman, a teenager, a bodyguard (?), the resident eccentric and Michelangelo

It seems very easy to get through hell

So she’s got a pentagram carved into her arm which means she can’t forget anything? There’s half of the stakes gone, what do you mean she CANT forget anything?? It’s supposed to be painful? Why hasn’t it caused her pain until now???
