The book. felt disjointed at times. It was a good easy read for after long days of work. But nothing ever felt fully flushed out. Ending felt rushed. The humor and relationships were fun (although Arthur/Gabriel could’ve used some more time forming and following that plot). The big reasoning for the build up wasn’t even a secondary plot but felt like the 6th plot that had a major part at the end but nothing really building it throughout in a way that was meaningful. It was an alright book all in all. Fun to read with medieval ambiance playing. Good ole gay love! Gwen/Bridget story line was good but also could’ve used some more time. Gwen/Arthur relationship felt like the only full and complete story line that was fully fleshed out.
