Overall, not a bad introduction to a different view of King Arthur and the knights of the round table.
The story was let down by some issues with the prose, the functional application of writing fundamentals, and at one particular point, a huge info dump in the form of rehashing history by an old, wise, character.
One thing that struck me as a bit odd was how many characters died. It seemed an inordinate amount, particularly given how short this novella was.
Ultimately, it’s not a bad idea, it just needs a bit more polishing to get it up to scratch.
A few things I noticed:
(All throughout manuscript!)- editing needed to cut out repeated words close together.
60% - …gathering up there (their) cargo…
64% - formatting issues with speech marks and punctuation.
68% - …of that contained (container) as well.
