Characters in this book have no firm beliefs. They're staunch, close-minded supporters of one principle - typically a Christian one - when the writer can't think of a way to naturally introduce conflict, and then, when the writer wants them to, they act in a completely different manner with zero thought for their previous stance and beliefs! They're all a bunch of weathervanes!

I have never hated a character more than I do Gwenhwyfar

Gwenhwyfar hates Avalon on 328, but on 330 she is all about getting help from there! Consistent character writing is hard, you guys!

Why does Lancelot - "Lancelet" will always be a stupid name - care about sin and "heathen things" when he's an atheist and doesn't give a shit about religion?

The hypocrisy of many of these characters is incredibly obnoxious. And why did we have to read 100 pages of Igraine establishing her character, principles, and beliefs if the next time we saw her, she'd abandoned ALL of it for absolutely zero reason? She spends the first chunk of the book affirming her faith in the Goddess and reviling Christianity, then turns into a mewling, brainless nun at the drop of a hat!

Why are the important female characters either idiots, malicious, or both?
