1, I was very happy to see that the stories didn’t start with “once upon a time,” since I’m a little over that, if I’m being honest.
2. I don’t like that the “Knight” doesn’t have a name, simply because it would be more dramatic if the villain, or antagonist at this point in the story, had a name besides what he is supposed to be. However, it’s interesting that the man is a knight and yet Sir Guyon and Prince Arthur are fighting him.
3. The author describes the actions of the characters well enough, especially when they are fighting, but I am having a hard time picturing the setting. More description of the land and where they are, maybe even how the people are dressed and how they look, will help readers to understand the time period as well as the people, and not only that, but it will provide a way to easily conjure up an image
4. “’I certainly will not give up my love, nor will I do service to your lady,’ replied Britomart.” This line made me LAUGH.
5. Britomart is definitely bisexual. You cannot argue with me on this so no one even try.
6. I wish there was more dialogue. It makes the stories more interesting because you’re more aware of who the characters are.
7. The third story is the first time that it references “Britain.”
8. It’s fun to read stories with characters that have been used all the time, over many different eras, in different literatures. Like Merlin, for example. He’s been used so much over the years that I don’t really know where he started out, or who he originally was written to be like.
9. DESCRIBE THE LAND OF THE FAERIE QUEEN. IT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE STORY AND YET WE SEE NOTHING THAT TALKS ABOUT WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.
10. The ending to the story “How Britomart Walked Through Fire” is so good, and leaves me wanting more, and it made me want to continue reading.
