Good but not great. A slow introduction to arthuriana, hopefully subsequent books will have more of the Morgan of legend

Morgan’s character drew me in really quickly, and kept me hooked for the entire book. The book itself does a lot of world building and contextualising, as it’s the first of a trilogy (I think).

Generally doesn’t lean particularly heavily into dark topics, which was refreshing.
