Booklist - 06/01/2025 *Starred Review* Every four years, the county of Darkhaven plays host to the Tournament of Dragonslayers, and this year’s competition comes with an extra incentive for competitors: the winner will earn the hand and dowry of Lady Isobelle, much to Lady Isobelle’s frustration. Gwen, a local blacksmith’s daughter who actually does most of the blacksmithing herself, wants nothing more than to don the armor of a knight and compete rather than spend her days in a hot forge. When the two girls meet and sparks begin to fly, Isobelle pulls Gwen into a plan that has the potential to save them both from their unwanted fates, if Gwen can just pull off pretending to be Sir Gawain and avoid the notice of Lord Whimsitt, Isobelle’s awful guardian. Easier said than done, but Gwen is up for the challenge. Characters’ modern sensibilities contrast smoothly with the medieval setting, and the romance between the main characters is sparkling and witty. Fourth-wall breaks are done to hilarious effect, and this cozy knight’s tale is as charming as it is funny and warm; a truly enjoyable rom-com. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
