This was fun! A bit like My Lady Jane crossed with the movie, A Knight's Tale. Humorous and romantic.

Dragons and lady knights are two of my favorite things so this was the book of my dreams!! I enjoyed the banter, the worldbuilding, and the pace but I do think a little more shaping the characters backstories out would have worked but I loved it!

As a fan of Meagan Spooner, as she is a fave amongst my students, it was so great to get the chance to read an arc of Lady's Knight. While it was written so well, and the characters were great, it was not my favorite, however, the theme of female strength and friendship is definitely my favorite part in it, and I think it will be a win when it hits the shelves.

Thank you netgalley for an arc of Lady's Knight by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

This is the book I wish I had growing up! Whimsical, witty and queer this book was a delight from start to finish.
It is definitely targeted at a younger audience with a quirky writing style and very convenient plot but that did not stop me from enjoying it at all and was a welcome break from reading darker books.
The sapphic romance between our two main characters was incredibly well done and developed slowly and believably.
I also really appreciated the portrayal of female friendship between our main and side characters. There was no unnecessary cattiness or bullying, just a portrayal of supportive friendship.
Overall I really think this will be a hit with its target audience and we need more feminist queer books like this for younger readers!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC!

Lady’s Knight by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner is a delightful breath of fresh air in a year dominated by Lady Knight books. Unlike the other titles I’ve read in this subgenre, which tend to lean toward horror or high fantasy, this one is all about embracing the absurd. If you love A Knight's Tale, My Lady Jane, or Monty Python, but also want a story that champions women’s solidarity, defies patriarchy, and celebrates rising above societal expectations, this is your book.

It's not exactly historically accurate—it's about sapphic lady knights, witches, and dragons, after all—so if you’re after something grounded in realism, this might not be for you. But if you’re ready to dive into a whimsical, fast-paced adventure with short chapters that keep the energy high, this is a perfect pick. The interludes narrated by a storyteller really add a Monty Python-esque touch, which reminded me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail—a classic I adored growing up and which heavily influenced the tiny bit of writing I did in college and maybe half of my personality in middle school.

While the plot itself is fairly predictable, with a clear direction throughout, some of the character motivations kept things interesting. Ultimately, Lady’s Knight is a celebration of female empowerment, strong friendships, and a whole lot of silliness—everything the "girlies" need in 2025. Huge thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books | Storytide for the advanced copy. I can’t wait for the world to see this one, and I’m particularly excited to see the cover art when it drops!
