Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die
THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER. DELUXE EDITION WITH STENCILED EDGES, SPOT GLOSS AND GOLD FOIL.
In this hilarious gay fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this brilliant debut is perfect for fans of Django Wexler and Dreadful.
In Which Many Dangerous and Homosexual Things Happen.
All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is quite frankly too handsome to die a pointless death in battle. But then the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights: the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron. 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 transmogrifying him into a vulture is at least entertaining. 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, 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 that hobby is trying to kill God.
Even if it might get you killed, too.
Fall in love with this laugh-out loud, genre-bending romp full of concussed elves and queer romance like you've never seen before.

I was really excited about this one. It sounded cool but I ended up not liking any character other than Cameron. I don't like the way Merulo never stopped belittling Cameron. He and another character kink shamed Cameron numerous times. Do not mistake this for a romance forward book. It's the front of Cameron's mind and no one else's.
The premise and setting was cool. It had a lot of twists I didn't expect, and that's what kept me reading. I didn't like the execution. I don't even understand why we had any Glenda chapters because nothing actually happened with them. They didn't add to the story anything that could have been shared in different ways. It's like they existed to show elves being bigots to humans and that's it. It felt more like social commentary than part of the plot.
I would have preferred those chapters bring more character or relationship development for Merulo and Cameron instead of following around some judgmental, racist, coked out, asshole of an elf who thinks she's better than everyone else.
