Review: Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die | Greer Stothers
Samenvatting:
In this hilarious, off-the-wall queer fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together.
All his life, Sir Cameron has tried to stay as far away from danger as possible. But when the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights predicting that the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron, he finds himself in a situation too sticky for even his considerable wiles. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to survive: the mad sorcerer.
Merulo isn't thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but fate has tied them together. And transmogrifying Cameron into a vulture is at least a great source of entertainment. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he's really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?
As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, led by an angry concussed elf—which definitely isn't in any way Cameron's fault—the sorcerer's poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he's also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if their hobby is trying to kill God.
Even if it might get you killed, too.

Mijn mening:
Dit verhaal ging echt alle kanten op, maar wel op een goede manier :) Ik had een verwachting van dit boek door alle hype die ik van tevoren had gezien maar die kon ik halverwege het boek volledig los laten. Het was zoveel grappige en wilder dan ik had verwacht. Erg chaotisch maar je weet dat het uiteindelijk wel goed gaat komen 10/10
Wat ik leuk vond:
- De interactie's tussen de personages waren geweldig geschreven
- De benaming van de hoofdstukken zijn al een groot deel van de chaotische vibes. Kijk maar naar dit voorbeeld.
Chapter 4
In Which an Elf Is Concussed, but It's Not Really My Fault because What Would You Have Done? Would You Not Have Concussed the Elf? No, Of Course You Would Have. We All Would Have Concussed the Elf. Besides Which, I Am Very Sorry for Concussing Her and Will Try to Make Amends Later if She Stops Trying to Kill Me. And Also, Her Intent to Kill Me Was a Highly Relevant Factor in My Decision to Concuss Her.
Wat ik niet leuk vond:
- Ik kan zelf niets bedenken wat ik niet leuk vond. Voor personages die god proberen te vermoorden was het een heel relaxt verhaal. Dus als je op zoek bent naar een verhaal waarin veel op het spel staat, zou ik deze niet aanraden.
