Long story short I had such a great time with this book and any of my major complaints are related to my own (wrong) preconceived notions of the book. I’ll go over my personal issues just in case you happen to have any of these same notions. My main beef was that I thought this was going to be a more direct Arthurian legend retelling with the main characters falling into more traditional stereotypes of characters from the original legends. I did actually enjoy the actual direction of the book better where the characters just share some name similarities to the legends and live in a world where King Arthur is part of their history. This misunderstanding worsened my other major complaint about the book which was that the character development wasn't immediately as strong as I wanted it to be. I was trying to fill the gaps in early character development with traits from their namesake characters in the Arthurian legend and that DID NOT work well. 

I am a big-time character reader and by the end I loved all of the characters. I think they each were able to be developed and have their personalities shine through but I will not lie some parts certain characters were a bit insufferable. They were insufferable because of their own personal demons and their insufferable-ness was part of their character arc so it was ultimately for the good of the plot but mildly frustrating to read. 

I personally enjoyed each character being in different stages of accepting their queerness and having to work through their personal demons to find love and joy. At the end of the day, this book is a fun medieval romp through shenanigans, tomfoolery, and finding oneself.
