I wanted to DNF but then got too far in. Don’t ask me why I’m continuing with the series because the answer is depressing. This book isn’t bad but it’s not good either. It feels more like a presentation of ideas than a story I care about and feel connected to. The ideas are stronger than the writing and the storytelling and it feels like there’s a mismatch. I’m hoping Mordred kills Arthur (as per usual) and that we’re cheering by the end of the series. Our main character feels more like a narrator than a main character so its frustrating wanting to be in the head of literally anyone else.
