O książce
In this hilarious, off-the-wall queer fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this book is perfect for fans of A Marvellous Light and Dreadful. All his life, Sir Cameron has tried to stay as far away from danger as possible. But when the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights predicting that the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron, he finds himself in a situation too sticky for even his considerable wiles. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to the mad sorcerer. Merulo isn't thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but fate has tied them together. And transmogrifying Cameron into a vulture is at least a great source of entertainment. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he's really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?

“Have you ever seen Howl's Moving Castle and thought this could have been more queer (as in gay, but also as in peculiar)? Because that is this book. It's an absolutely delightful romp from start to finish. ”
“i wish i could review this as zero stars. i won't put any spoilers because there is actually a very detailed - and much kinder than i could ever be - review out there that people can find if they don't want to actually read this train wreck of a book, but i have to say this is the most bigoted work i have read since i read the captive prince trilogy. and somehow this is even worse than that. we need to remind people that "satire" isn't "writing the same jokes seth macfarlene would make but it's gay". you have to actually subvert the racism, transmisogyny, misogyny, homophobia, ableism, and fat…”
“Possibly the best thing I’ve read so far this year. I am a notorious page flipper anytime a current section bores me, just to see how far I need to push through for things to pick up again. This book was so engaging and entertaining that not once did the thought of skipping ahead cross my mind.”
