"Surveillance isn't just about spying on you, Merlin. It's about controlling you. You know that." - Arthur

"I saw police ofiicers shoot down civilians. And now the New Morals are snatching people from their homes. You had people to stand up to them-you had over five thousand. You still have people loyal to you, who are waiting to follow your lead." - Gwen

"Do you have any idea what is happening right now? Do you? Or is this just some game that you and Arthur can play when you're atyour secret little club? This is real, Gwen. It's real life and it's fucking dangerous!" - Lancelot

Bookish vibes: The Future King Logres is a dystopian future King Arthur story! Combining two of my favorite things is really 🔥🔥 dystopian 🤝 Arthurian In a future England, the government is controlling the people by surveillance and by propaganda and misinformation. 15 year old Gwen joins a secret society to dismantle the government and expose the cruelty.. she’s also the new girl at the school and has a rough time until she meets the right friends. Instantly falling for Arthur the quiet one, her life is upset once again once the rebellious Lancelot comes back from suspension. I loved Gwen’s agency and loved seeing Tristen and Isolde. I am unabashedly, once again, rooting for Lancelot. It’s my own personal character flaw, I love him and his “I can protect everyone” vibes 😍 the rest of her friends were fun, except Tom, what a loser. I hope we see more of Morgan in the next once cause she is full of secrets! Overall this was a great story! Action packed with drama and teenage angst. Recommended for readers who liked Legendborn, The Enemy’s Daughter and Alex Rider!
