Also, this Lancelot is wildly different from T. H. White’s, which I didn’t expect. What a dick. 8/10.

“Fate, Merlin always said, is inexorable… There was so much heartache, so much blood and so many tears that they would have made a great river; yet, in time, the eddies smoothed, new rivers joined, and the tears when down to the great wide sea and some people forgot how it ever began. The time of glory did come, yet what might have been never did…”
“Christianity now lapped around the old faith like a wind-driven high tide splashing through the demon-haunted reed-beds of Avalon.”
“The night was long and bitterly cold. But I wished the dawn would never come.”

Also contains problematic portrayal of a character with dwarfism, and confinement & banishment of the mentally ill (who are also portrayed somewhat problematically).
