Honestly, not much happens in this book beyond introducing a lot of characters and the idea of King Arthur's Round Table. It's very moralistic while itself espousing problematic sexist and racist and, to a lesser extent, classist norms — as always, I choose to acknowledge but not excuse the fact that this is an older book. The family tree was a [somewhat disturbing] highlight; the rest was pretty tedious.
