Thank you to NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review
Continuing my streak of medieval literature - today I offer you medieval lesbians, knights in dramatic jousting tournaments, and running away with the love of your life to live in a brewery. All in all, I'm quite jealous of Lily and Jo and loved following them on their adventure.
If you've read Gwen and Art are not in Love or you've ever watched BBC Merlin, then you'll already understand the kind of lighthearted historical tone that this book has - everyone is drinking ale or feasting or competing for ladies' favours. And then within this immersive environment, we have yearning, we have daring feats of bravery, and all sorts of dramatic antics.
This was just such a lovely story - and I got all the way to the end before I realised that the brothers who kept being mentioned in this book (who I ironically was thinking should get a spin off) were actually from a first book, and that All the Painted Stars is a sequel - so rest assured there's no need to read one before the other.
This makes such a brilliant addition to the repertoire of books I've been enjoying recently, that lean towards the medieval era/ myth and legend themes!
