Can’t Wait Wednesday – ONCE & FUTURE by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll just be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is ONCE & FUTURE by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy. Ever since I was a kid, I was always captivated by the Legend of King Arthur, and this upcoming release is not only a King Arthur retelling, but the King Arthur character is also a girl! Enough said, I need this book in my life!
ONCE & FUTURE by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy
Publication Date: March 5, 2019
From Goodreads
Some legends never die – they are reborn. Once & Future is King Arthur as you’ve never imagined!
I’ve been chased my whole life. As an illegal immigrant in the territory controlled by the tyrannical Mercer corporation, I’ve always had to hide who I am. Until I found Excalibur.
Now I’m done hiding.
My name is Ari Helix. I have a magic sword, a cranky wizard, and a revolution to start.
When Ari crash-lands on Old Earth and pulls a magic sword from its ancient resting place, she is revealed to be the newest reincarnation of King Arthur. Then she meets Merlin, who has aged backward over the centuries into a teenager, and together they must break the curse that keeps Arthur coming back. Their quest? Defeat the cruel, oppressive government and bring peace and equality to all humankind. No pressure.

This sounds very cool! I love that there are reincarnations of King Arthur, and making Merlin a teenager is fun!

Ha! You had me at “I have a magic sword, a cranky wizard, and a revolution to start.” This book must have sarcasm, banter and magic so I would be all in!!!!

Thanks, me too!
No pressure indeed! This sounds crazy good!
Doesn’t it?!
Oh wow, this sounds absolutely incredible! I’m a big fan of retellings. Since reading The Conquerors Saga by Kierstan White, I’ve been looking for another gender swapped retelling. Teenage Merlin? Count me in! Thanks so much for sharing Suzanne, I wouldn’t have probably discovered this one otherwise ♡♡♡
Kelly recently posted…Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow
You’re welcome! And yes, the idea of teenage Merlin is one of the things that intrigues me the most about this retelling, lol.
Suzanne, I recently found my well-worn high school copy of Once and Future King. I absolutely have to read this one, and I love the contemporary take. Wow. Great share!
Thanks!
oooh, this sounds so intriguing. Thanks for sharing it, Suzanne. I’ll add this to my TBR on goodreads. I’m not up on pre-releases. 😛
So, this is a good Meme for me to visit!
