Y'all, I just devoured The King's Maiden and I am absolutely OBSESSED! π
As someone who reads a TON of dark academia and retellings, this modern King Arthur twist completely blew me away! Set at D'Arthur University, we follow Quinn Everly, a student drowning in medical debt who gets an opportunity that seems too good to be true - The Quest, run by the mysterious Knights of Camelot Court.
I connected with Quinn immediately - watching her navigate her asthma while trying to stay afloat financially had me emotionally invested from page one. And her friendship with her roommate Gia? Pure gold! These girls had me laughing out loud! π
Now let's talk about Landon Scott because WHEW! π₯΅ Those dark amber eyes and that all-black aesthetic? I was absolutely LIVING for every scene he was in! As Kingston D'Arthur's right hand, he brings this delicious tension to every interaction. And then there's Max Dread who totally lives up to his name and had me screaming into my kindle! π
The secret society aspect? *chef's kiss* π¨βπ³ The forced proximity? The slow burn? The enemies-to-lovers vibes? I was highlighting passages left and right because everything was just THAT GOOD.
β οΈ Fair warning: That cliffhanger ending had me THROWING my kindle across the room (gently, of course π )! It's book one of four in the Camelot Court series, and I'm already counting down the days until I can get my hands on the next installment!

- π Dark Academia vibes that will give you LIFE

Then stop what you're doing and grab this book immediately! The Quest is calling, and you don't want to miss this adventure... πβ¨
