Awesome amount of LGBTQ+ rep in this book and i really expected that from these authors. The idea of a sci-fi queer King Arthur retelling got me so damn excited but it fell flat unfortunately when I looked outside of the characters rep. The writing itself isnt bad but the authors just didnt take any time to relationship and character build. It's like there's whole scenes missing where they developed characters. It just seemed hastily slapped together on that end which was really disappointing. I was just being told that there was chemistry between people. They needed to slow the plot down and add scenes that maybe nothing happened plotwise but scenes where I start to get Gwen and Arthur--to buy into their relationship--to see the hurt near the end.
