There's a lot of flourishy detail on the feelings of characters as they're kissing or touching, which is fine for the youth who may be closeted. But it feels like important things just ... happen with not a lot of fanfare. I'm not sure why this is happening here, or what is going on.
Some of it can be chalked up to my lack of knowledge of Arthurian Legend. Other times, it feels like I unintentionally skipped a paragraph just to go back and no, something is just happening and we're rolling with it. Then it just lingers so much and so long on a part where characters are separated and you really want them to reunite, it just feels like a waste.
It feels like an anthology of a lot of ideas and not anything truly coherent or grandiose.
I'm in the LGBTQ community and I suppose actually hearing characters go "Dude, they use they/them," and the like was interesting - and it almost felt hamfisted. Maybe because in our present day, actually respecting differences in gender identity is seen as foolish.
It was nice to read something new, but I'm going to quote this Goodreads review - "I kept forgetting what the POINT was,"
