3 1/2 ( )

Quirky and cute read with a sliver of time travel combined with an interesting twist with Arthur being a girl. A pleasurable enough read that wasn't long but I think could be more suited to a younger audience. ( )

The young man who would have been King Arthur runs off with a shepherdess before Britt Arthurs is yanked from the 21st century and lands back in medieval times, where she easily pulls a sword from a stone and is informed by the wizard Merlin that she will be crowned the new King of Britain in Enthroned by author K.M. Shea.

Though I didn't read the book blurb thoroughly beforehand, I was intrigued by this YA fantasy series the minute I realized it's called King Arthur and Her Knights. A nice twist from the get-go! There's some comedy and also some medieval violence woven into this magical adventure, and I was interested enough to read the novella through.

However, I would have needed more character development to truly care about the story's people, and I didn't find a compelling "why" behind it all to make the plot impactful. I didn't feel that much after finishing the book, and although it is in no way unreadable, it could have used another round of editing, particularly to catch the recurring errors in dialogue and punctuation.

While I may not continue this series, I do think I'll try something newer by this author sometime. ( )
