I wish I wasn't a completionist. I should have stopped reading this series after the first book. It just wasn't good at all. The writing was clunky, and the plot was super forced and awkward. The characters were all extremely thin, except for where the author told us they had character rather than really showing us that character. There was almost no point in the book where a character actually did anything of their own choice. Most of the time fate or magic made them do something. Hell, one of the main things that happened towards the end of the series

Spoiler

was with the character that had the magic ring that was only a fate/plot device. She refused to do what it wanted and so the magic stopped working for her. For the rest of the book, she literally had no agency and had no point to being in the story anymore. ?!

The King Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot love triangle was just annoying. It seemed they just loved each other enough that ... oh whatever. It was just dumb and again with the fate and no character choices. The whole book was aligned around Guinevere's rape child being able to make the choice between good and bad and and that choice is as cheesy as you'd expect it to be. Also, completely obvious what'll happen considering the object he's been carrying around the entire book.

The fact that some of the characters come from our world never made sense and amounted to nothing of much interest except more clunkiness.

I cannot 'not recommend' this series enough. I went back and lowered the rating of the first book.

Which, again, is odd, because 'The Sarantine Mosaic' series by this author is one of my favorite stories ever!
