Honestly fascinated to know Merlin's perspective on all of this. Why DIDN'T you tell Arthur his true parentage, Merlin, hmmm? Why did you opt for the King Herod path? (Notably, in OAFK Merlin is already entombed in his cave by the time the May Babies roll around; Arthur just says, "They said I should..." without saying who "they" are.)
Yes, I think you're onto something with the sense of modernity coming from the female characters - haven't actually read Malory so perhaps I am doing him a wrong, but I suspect they don't get much perspective there.
