Spear by Nicola Griffith
4.0

A beautiful Arthurian story with a queer protagonist. This was definitely an interesting story, it follows the story of a girl who has only ever known her mother.. but her thirst for her path leads her into the world and as she grows she begins to meet new people, go on a life changing quest, meet her love, and discover who she is amongst Arthur’s court. It all starts when she gets a name for herself and discovers a dead body.. and soon she begins her journey with a hunting spear and mended armor, she will become an unforgettable hero and follow her birth path. I always appreciate a new spin on classic stories and finding one that is well written and with a queer main character? Amazing! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys new takes on classics and who want to find something new and enjoy Arthurian stories
