torts 's review for:

Sword of the Rightful King by Jane Yolen

2.0

---

Basically devoid of conflict...and even though Arthur was relatively likeable the rest of the characters were pretty flat (even with their perspectives getting foregrounded occasionally). The whole narrative seemed to be serving/building up to the twist at the end, but the relationship between Gawen and Arthur was non-existent sooo the ending was more puzzling than satisfying.
