Lady's Knight
by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
Fun, flirty, and with just a bit of fire, Lady’s Knight was everything I wanted when I picked up this book. We follow Gwen - a blacksmith’s daughter who has taken up her father’s job to keep their family fed, and Isobelle - a noble lady seen as nothing more than a prize to be won in a jousting tournament. When these two meet a plan comes together that has unexpected consequences for not only them - but everyone around them.
I loved the way this book was written, with fun little medieval versions of modernizations of things. This is especially seen in the occasional breaks of the fourth wall chapters where we - as the reader - are being spoken to directly about what we are reading. This made reading a fun and enjoyable experience, as every time I turned the page I found something new to love about reading this book.
Told from the dual perspectives of Gwen and Isobelle, it was really fun to watch their romance - as well as the rising tensions surrounding Gwen’s deception as Sir Gawain - develop. I found both of them interesting and multi-layered, and I really enjoyed how at no point was Isobelle cosigned to be a supporting character in the novel - or seen as the less important of the two women.
Perfect for anyone who was looking for a sapphic knight tale - complete with secret identities, overly-competent and secretive maids, and an action-filled ending that will leave you at the edge of your seat.
A huge thank you to the author, Netgalley, and HarperCollins Children's Books for providing me this e-ARC.
