The more Arthurian stories I read, the more I'm starting to think that it's just not my jam (I've got a few more on my TBR pile, so we'll see if that continues to bear out). On paper, this seemed like it should have been right up alley. "Why yes, I would love to learn more about the Lady of the Lake. She seems super fascinating." But ultimately, this was just kinda meh for me. I didn't find anything done in this world to be particularly interesting or groundbreaking and there was a lot prequel-itis in the name of "oh hey, here's this character you're familiar with, we're going to introduce them in a surprising way that'll make you go 'What?'" It was just a bit a slog for me and I never got fully invested in the characters or the story.
