ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR! - Publishers Weekly "Simultaneously heart-pounding and hilarious, Robyn Schneider gives us a veritable romp through Camelot fueled by adventure and romance." —Kerri Maniscalco, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Kingdom of the Wicked and Stalking Jack the RipperChanneling the modern humor of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling author Robyn Schneider creates a Camelot that becomes the ultimate teen rom-com hotspot in this ultra-fresh take on the Arthurian legend. Welcome to the great kingdom of Camelot! Prince Arthur’s a depressed botanist who would rather marry a library than a princess, Lancelot’s been demoted to castle guard after a terrible lie, and Emry Merlin has arrived at the castle disguised as her twin brother since girls can’t practice magic. Life at court is full of scandals, lies, and backstabbing courtiers, so what’s a casually bisexual teen wizard masquerading as a boy to do? Other than fall for the handsome prince, stir up trouble with the foppish Lord Gawain, and offend the prissy Princess Guinevere. When the truth comes out with disastrous consequences, Emry has to decide whether she'll risk everything for the boy she loves, or give up her potential to become the greatest wizard Camelot has ever known.

"This is basically a printed fanfic of female merlin and i just LOVED it it has two books in the series but i believe it will be three soon!"
Sammi
"I really did enjoy it, but..1) it tried to have lgbt characters but then it tried to make the world both accepting and not. To the extent where it was some character flip flop on if its okay or not 2)Next problem, was the lack of depth. By the end you should know something that's beyond the surface. 3) pace, the main villain plot line only got there by the last hundred pages. The author either needed to have more interesting middle plot or should have introduced the villain earlier."

"I really liked the new take on a classic story. It makes it so much more to those that know the legends and a fresh take will bring more people to the legends of Arthur and his knights"
Jessica Moody
"Genuinely the best book I've ever read. It's written like a really good fanfic, which to me is a plus. While there wasn't a ton of queer rep, I appreciate that it was included in the way it was. It's also really funny but still has enough suspense."

"LOVED IT. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK TO COME OUT"

"It is such a different view on Camelot! I loved how same sex relationships are treated. The ending is a bit rushed but it makes me eager for the next book!"
