Such a great continuation/retelling of Camelot and it's rulers. Focused more on Guinevere of course but with all our favorite knights. 

I really hope there's more!

I put off reading this because of my mental health. I didn't know how my spirals would match Aza's and if I could distance myself enough to experience hers while not losing myself in mine. 

In the end, because my spirals are based in something different than Aza's it was very easy to maintain difference even if the spiralling is the same.
