Let me just start by saying how much I HATE third act break up scenes. It is SO UNECESSARY and I HATE WHEN COUPLES SEPARATE!!! It happens A LOT in fantasy books. When a MMC makes one (1) small mistake suddenly the FMC condems them to hell or smthg. It's usually over smthg stupid, too. The FMC dosn't wanna listen to the explanation ever!!
"Listen to me I'm begging you"
"Fuck no I'm out of here"
I HATE IT
IT IS UNCALLED FOR!! HAVEN'T THEY HEARD ABT COMMUNICATION?!?!
DRAVEN DID IT TO SAVE HER LIFE FOR FUCKS SAKE
AMD SHE GOT A HUSBAND OUT OF IT
WHO WOULDN'T WANT DRAVEN AS A HUSBAND!?!?
INGRATE
WHAT IS SOO WRONG WITH BEING MARRIED!?!?!
Also I guesse a lot of the plot twists here
1. Morgan being Gorlois' daughter with some powerful prophecy or smthg
2. Draven staging his injury so Morgan will be empress
3. Lancelet being alive
Also there was barely any mention of Arthur throughout the book and then BAM he created a rape library
So fucked up. Amd I know a lot of men are like that but...why would you put it in a fantasy book? It's unecessary...
