The part of the collection that I did enjoy was the fact that this really explores modern day sexualities, but it does not do it successfully to me. See the cover? Poly is all I am going to say, so I don’t give away everything but the kitchen sink. There is even some asexual representation in this, but it all feels so rather forced. Congrats for being diverse, but can it feel more natural? Probably for a different writer or a bit more editing on this writer’s part. It felt like it jumped so much between the two side characters romancing the main character that at times I felt that the main storyline suffered from this. I understand that a single issue of the comic series has limited space and that this particular style means that certain tropes and formatting has to be followed, so I think overall I probably would have enjoyed this more as a well-thought out graphic novel with multiple volumes instead of as this collected 5 issue set.
I will say I loved that this was not an immediate “Morgan Le Faye” is the bad guy story. Morgan appears, but who she is and how she fits into the real world I loved! Seriously! As a book blogger there was no way not to love it. Want to know why the love? Read the darn thing. Find out if you like the things that I disliked about it. Maybe it will give it another volume that can help flesh it out better than this one does. Some of the sketches seem to allude that there was some elements that they wanted to do in subsequent volumes, so maybe if someone throws some money at them they can produce those issues.
I feel that this is one that most people could avoid and just be fine with it. People who like Arthurian stories will at least enjoy those subtle nods that it gives to it. I try to not be overly negative in my reviews, so this is probably the most negative review I will ever give on here. The reality is that this just wasn’t done well for me, as a reader. I saw a lot of cracks in the veneer and simple ways to fix those issues. As a reader though, I recognize my own biases and recognize that sometimes I am just not going to enjoy what I read. This was one of those reads. Someone else may have a completely different experience with it. Good luck to those that take it on. ( )
