Slow to start, but a book that has a lot to say

I came to this after reading some of Ishiguro's other books. Klara and the Sun was my first, and coming to this one I was more attentive to Ishiguro's styles and techniques, and to how the story was developing

I found it slow to start, but began to thoroughly enjoy the characters and their diverse styles. If you find it quite dry to start with then persevere, a lot of themes come in quite late in the book, and around the middle of the book the worldbuilding becomes suddenly very vibrant. I loved this in the context of Arthurian legend and the literary/mythological tradition surrounding it
