This book is wildly fun and inclusive and I’m so excited it’s the first in a series. I really couldn’t not feature a book that’s a genderbent King Arthur legend with a queer female Arthur (aka Ari) in an f/f romance, a gay teenaged Merlin, a nonbinary Lamorak who uses they/them pronouns, and so on and so forth, by two of the best names queer YA has to offer. ![]()

With such a large family it took a while to gauge who was who and I had to keep referring back to the family tree. The parents of the brothers are bloody awful and the title is pure irony as the children are more grown up than the adults. We then go back six months, to Easter in Kerry, and learn about this large dysfunctional Irish family and what events led up to the birthday dinner.

And though her ending is a sad one, Amelia disappeared doing what she felt she should, and what she felt she must: paving the way for more explorers to chart their own paths, regardless of their gender. She founded an aviation club for female pilots, navigated the Atlantic both with a team and solo, and nearly made it around the globe before disappearing.
