I know you can not finish this.

Quarter in and I can't find a clear story here. I kept hoping if I held on long enough for the connection would start with to form, but I can't see it. Without story, I need compelling characters, but I can't latch onto any of them. There is no depth, just dialogue and surface thoughts... I feel like we can't get too deep into character pot lest we figure out what they're really doing. The names are also mostly teasing towards Arthurian myths, but without a story context I feel like it is simply that, just a tease. There are some splendid premises here, but I'm disappointed because they aren't paying off. Almost reads more like a script, and we're missing the visuals of the action - basic set dressing is there, but very little energy. A fight with science-magic energy swords is done in barely a page.
