White from reading it in high school, so most of my impression of what Merlin is like is actually based on the TV show.
I’ll admit, I only have a vague recollection of The Once and Future Kingby T.
The take on him in this story was excellent and gave him such a new dynamic. Told in alternate point-of-views of Ari (King Arthur reincarnation #42) and Merlin (same one, younger body), this book is full of action, mildly steamy romance, diverse characters and a plot that takes you near and far in an adventure to mirror one of the many quests of King Arthur himself.įirst of all, I loved Merlin. While this book started off in a bit of a not-so-great spot and had me feeling iffy about going forward with it, by the time I finished it I had a million smiles on my face and a new gay puppy magician to love. King Arthur retelling, space setting, and LGBTQ+ representation out the wazoo? It sounded perfect. So this book has been on my TBR since the moment I first heard about it. Their quest? Defeat the cruel, oppressive government and bring peace and equality to all humankind. Then she meets Merlin, who has aged backward over the centuries into a teenager, and together they must break the curse that keeps Arthur coming back. When Ari crash-lands on Old Earth and pulls a magic sword from its ancient resting place, she is revealed to be the newest reincarnation of King Arthur. I have a magic sword, a cranky wizard, and a revolution to start. As a fugitive refugee in the territory controlled by the tyrannical Mercer corporation, I’ve always had to hide who I am. ** I received this as an egalley from the publisher through Edelweiss in return for an honest review.** Published by: Jimmy Patterson Books/Little, Brown and Company Once & Future (Once & Future #1) , by Amy Rose Capetta & Cori McCarthy
