Well first of all I am way behind on my work and life because I couldn't put this down. The Arthurian legend is, well, legendary so I was both excited and nervous about Once and Future. It exceeded my expectations. McCarthy and Capetta manage to find that perfect balance between the story we're all familiar with and new elements to make it their own. Merlin is amazing in this version (I mean, the guy hums K-pop). I really love the diversity of characters. Readers of all sexualities, genders, orientations and melanin will find themselves represented here, and in a way that is not "about" being ace or fluid or straight or whatever--that's just one aspect of the character that is basically as mundane and routine as having brown eyes or being taller than everyone else. Once and Future broke my heart over and over as it filled me with hope and joy and made me laugh. The ending was both satisfying and a cliffhanger for the next book. Can there be like 10 more of these? Fans of Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles will feel particularly at home here.
Holy bananas, this book is swallowing me whole. I haven't even finished it yet (edited--now that I've finished it, I'll have a bit to say about the ending), but I can't wait another minute to start screaming and fangirling. If you are or ever have been a queer teen, if you are a POC (or a white person who feels better, safer and happier in a universe where racial equality is the status quo); if you love hero epics, marvel movies, social justice, and fully realized female, queer, and nonbinary characters, you are going to FLIP OUT. The world (well, universe) the authors have created is one you will fall into head-first. I honestly haven't been this deeply gripped by a book in a long, long time. Like, staying up reading until 2am even though I know I have to wake up at 5:30, kind of gripping. It's such an amazing gift to get a queer, brown teenage girl as the star of this kind of massively epic hero quest (a retelling of the King Arthur story set in the quasi-distant future, in the style of Firefly--it's outer space, yeah, but still just humanity plundering every resource available; no aliens here). I love that hardly anybody is straight, and hardly anybody is white. I'm pretty sure there's only one character who is straight AND white--and even he makes it clear that he doesn't feel any sense of entitlement based on these arbitrary factors. This really is a universe where social power structures have nothing to do with race, gender or sexuality. Of course, even that awesome feat on its own wouldn't make a story worth reading, and it could even come off as preachy or soapboxy in the wrong hands. But, y'all, this story. This story will make you, too, forget the need for sleep while reading. Ari Helix is the kind of hero I can actually relate to; it's shockingly easy to see the world through her eyes, and by doing so, feel those heroic, evil-corporation-destroying feelings like they're your own. Her love story with her "Gwenivere" is beautiful and heart-wrenching and so, so hot. There are plenty of other characters of course, and they are all complex and engaging and important (especially Merlin, who has witnessed the rise and fall of thousands of years of human history only to find himself a teenage boy for the first time in his ancient life, and little clue about how to handle his hormones). The camradierie of the group is also a huge and beautiful part of the story. But Ari is the key to it all, and she's here for it.So now that I've finished it, I have to say I wasn't thrilled with the ending. The pacing felt really rushed, the characterization of "the masses" in this universe felt really underdeveloped. I had been expecting rallying the people to be a bigger part of how Ari would lead the revolution. And without giving any spoilers, I can only say that the way to defeat a giant, universe-monopolizing corporation can't be whittled down to taking on a single figurehead. I really don't know how much more I can say without giving spoilers, but for me there were also some holes in the way things were left in the brief aftermath of the grand climax, concerning where and how literally ALL the means of production in the universe were happening. It sort of seemed like the whole ending was a rush to set up the sequel.That said, I will still absolutely read the sequel, and I would LOVE to see this get made into a movie too, it's a highly visual and action-filled narrative. I'm still giving it a 5 star rating. If there was a 4.5 option I'd do that, but since there's not I'm sticking with 5, for all the wonderful things that kept me up all night reading, and all the radically game-changing representation of diversity of race, sexuality and gender. Bottom line is the love for the characters, and as long as they keep having adventures, I'll keep reading.
(I received this free book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)There were so many elements about Once & Future that I really loved: the characters, theme of found family, and the sibling relationship between Ari and Kay. It's one of those books you walk away from thinking, "I loved all the things Capetta and McCarthy did in this story: combining diverse characters, a gender bent King Arthur, and spaceships". And so for these aspects alone it deserves these stars.
3.5I’d bet on saying that the legend of King Arthur is pretty widely known. So then what happens when you make the legend a reincarnation story where Arthur is tasked with uniting all of mankind under one banner, but somehow failing each time.Except this time, Arthur has been reincarnated into the body of Ari, a young woman in the future, who pulls Excalibur out of an aged oak tree on what is now called Old Earth, and needs to defeat the tyrannical Mercer Company who has a monopoly on pretty much the entire galaxy and forces people to follow their laws and their rules lest they will cut you planet off from the rest of civilization with a barrier. And helping each Arthur on each quest is Merlin who has been progressively aging backwards with this cycle (#42) finding himself a teenager with a penchant of singing a pop song before conjuring his magic?(Takes imaginary breath).Well, you’d have Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy’s Once & Future.If you can’t tell, the premise is attention grabbing. With all the retellings out there, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a gender-swapped retelling of the Arthurian legend in space. So right away it piqued my interest.Once & Future has a lot going for it. First and foremost, the diversity and representation is fantastic. Capetta and McCarthy take all the stigmas that are still prevalent today, in regards to gender and identity, and make them a thing of the past. It doesn’t feel like something being forced or check-marked into the story either. It feels honest and refreshing and what we can only hope the world will embrace more in the present.I also enjoyed how the ties formed between the original Arthurian Legend is utilized as a stepping stone for Ari’s story, but how she continues to subvert everything that Merlin has come to expect in each cycle. Most obvious being that this time Arthur is female. It’s these places that make the story the strongest and works the best. And if I’m being honest I feel like that’s the way it should be because, clearly, this cycle is different, this cycle has the potential to see all the steps through to the very end—to the uniting of humankind—it needed to be different from what’s already been.However, when the story follows too closely the path set forth in the original Legend—calling out the Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot love triangle—is when it fell into too much melodrama for me. Granted no one has ever said that Arthurian Legend isn’t made of drama, but the problem is that everything felt rushed. I didn’t get to feel the heartbreak because in the blink of an eye we go from an intense attraction, complete with promising backstory, between Gwen and Ari to marriage to heartbreak. Merlin and one of Ari’s knights, Val, find themselves in a similar state of attraction, but I found their relationship a much better slow burn.This is true for the friendships as well. I loved the interactions between a thoroughly futuristically modern Ari and a centuries old, sometimes stodgy Merlin. Set in his ways and secure in his tasks, Ari throws him for a loop and brings him out of his shell a bit. Ari starts the story off as a fugitive refugee and with Merlin’s influence becomes the face of a revolution. I wanted to see more of the build up from tentative associates to genuine friends.Overall, Once & Future is an ambitious retelling, auspicious in scope and execution. The adventure clearly isn’t over for Ari and her knights, and I’m interested to see what they bring to the table next.
