Staff Reviews
Overall, actually in love couple Cori McCarthy and Amy Rose Capetta have written a perfect YA novel that’s fun, diverse, and meaningful, with plenty of magic and swords to keep it interesting. While a reincarnation of King Arthur may not seem like the most original idea, the way Amy Rose and Cori have written it is completely unique and fantastically surprising. Once & Future is neon bright and mind-blowingly cool, packed with loveable characters and enough rebelling against The Man for any reasonable teen.

Defeat the cruel, oppressive government and bring peace and equality to all humankind. No pressure. Once & Future is a sizzling, bold exploration of gender, power, and revolution.
