Prepare for a politically charged, addictive read

The concept already had me desperate to get my hands on a copy, but the execution was so immaculate that I know I’ll be reading Blackheart Knights over and over again. A fresh and fascinating retelling that manages to make Arthurian myth modern, bloody, and pretty darn sexy

The most I’ve enjoyed an Arthurian retelling in a long time. I never felt like I knew exactly where we were going, which meant I stayed hooked

There’s a wealth of imagination on show here

A brilliant world not quite like anything I’ve ever seen before. It’s strange, and delightfully different, and it’s so beautifully cohesive. I loved every moment of it. It’s unquestionably one of the best books of the year

She speaks English and French, and can hold a vague conversation, usually about food, in Greek. She is very English about comedy and very French about cheese. Selling comic books in foreign languages, loosing a variety of blood-curdling screams into a recording booth and striking odd poses as an artist’s model are just some of the things she has done for a living.
