Okay. Wow. What is wrong with the women who wrote this?
They had it OUT for poor Guinevere...she's always "giggling" or "flirting". And she even "purred" at one point.
I gotta pull a Lancelot here, and defend her honor. As someone who loves the Arthurian legends, this portrayal will not stand!
And honestly, it's not just Guinevere. Pretty much every woman in this book is essentially just there to bat their eyes at the Knights, and make things difficult for them, with the exception of Lady Tryamour. And, naturally, she throws major shade at Guinevere with her, "But at the tournament you proved your courage, your virtue and your loyalty to your lady. One small mistake in your manners," she said, looking slightly disdainfully at Guinevere, who bowed her head, "is understandable." Which is in direct response to Sir Launfal nearly getting executed because Guinevere threw herself at Launfaul like a horndog, and then claimed he had tried to kiss her.
(That's where the purring bit comes in.)
Just...I feel like I need to rinse my mouth out after saying all that. Did I mention that this was a children's book?
