A wonderful beginning to what will hopefully prove an epic and incredibly sexy series. Lancelot is the first-person narrator of this very grown-up spin on the Camelot saga. Lance is torn between his love of a mysterious new hanger-on named Else and his long-denied passion for his King. In the novel, Lance has passionate encounters with both men and women and Luddington writes love scenes with great skill. The characters fit beautifully into the Arthurian world and her take on Lancelot and Arthur have the reader very invested in the characters and their relationship. The narration by Joel Leslie is excellent - brooding, sexy and with great character range. Not strictly m/m erotica - but a complex and exciting fantasy that delivers.

"Endearing gay teen pop-culture mash up fun."
I really thought this was so charming. If you have ever seen "Beautiful Thing" it's kind of an American spin on that feel... Taking mainstream teen romance and giving the gays a chance to share in that warm and fuzzy, teen-angst, growing pain fun. Using popular pop-culture movies as a kind of loose springboard the author throws our (delightfully clueless) hero, Sam, into a kind of John Hughes set of storylines that pay homage to the movies we loved growing up - but letting gay kids take the role of the hero. I think it was really cool to have a teen story that was fresh, lighthearted, likable and really put a gay kid into a mainstream kind of romantic high school storyline. There is the typical teen fixation with sex - but nothing lewd... or hardcore in the least. If I knew a gay seventeen or eighteen year old I would love to give them this book - I think they would feel it gave them a voice and would be a great way to tell them 'you're ok'. Not to say that adults wouldn't find it charming too... The narration is great... it's practically a full-length monologue (all first person) and the narrator is totally engaging, youthful, funny and brings the other characters to life. I really enjoyed these two installments and think it will be fun to see what the author does as the character grows up. If you ever read Adrian Mole - imagine a gay version and you'll know exactly the kind of lighthearted read to expect.
