Spear is a retelling of the Arthurian Legend, but is a queer retelling. In spear, King Arthur just barely became king and our main character, Peretur/Parcival is a female. She ends up becoming a fierce warrior and the companion to Arthur even though she has to perceive herself as a male knight.

I really do not have much knowledge of the legend of King Arthur and due to this, it may have tainted how I viewed this story and my enjoyment. 

I do find this retelling unique with having one of Arthur's knights masquerading as a male even though she is actually a female and she is queer as well. So, it was great to see diversity and how her being a queer female motivates her with her actions. 

Other than that, I struggled with Spear due to getting lost on what was going on and I did not feel anything for any of the characters.
