So the premise of this book sounded really interesting. I was especially drawn to it because of the Arthurian legend and it sounded like a... Tristan and Isolde kind of story. Although I must say my expectations were probably too high. I was thinking of knights and chivalry and romance and how awesome it's going to be.

Instead it had insta-love trope and a lot of description and talking and almost none action.

Sir Guigemar is supposed to be this hero, a man of honor, tall and handsome but I wasn't sold on this. I couldn't picture him as a knight and I think this might have been due to female writer writing a story from male perspective. Now I don't want to imply that women can't write books from the male protagonist's perspective and vice versa but in this it didn't worked out as I would like.

Also, she puts so much effort in creating this handsome knight who doesn't believe in love, who doesn't have time for love and doesn't care for love, but when he gets cursed and has to find the love of his life to be saved, he falls in love rather instantly. It was so unrealistic to his character and it didn't make sense.

I must say the writing style was good but it was somewhat ruined by all the talk the characters did. There was so much dialog and almost no description. The author completely ignored the useful rule of show don't tell and everything was brought to us on a golden platter and straight up told to us. Which is no fun at all.
