dragged on for a bit too long in my opinion; it got to the point where I felt it was just reparative and unnecessary. I kept waiting for something about the first act’s king and daughter to come back around and it didn’t, so that also felt unusually. It was like I was waiting for something else to hit and it never did (which is fine - you don’t exactly want
incest
to come back around.
