Let me add this to what I said about it yesterday: I mentioned that it was episodic in nature (at least it is so far) and what I really admire about that style in this type of novel is that it emulates the original fantasy/epic genre. Stories like the Odyssey, Iliad, Niebelungenlied, or the Saga of the Volsungs. These are stories that don't solely follow a single plot arc - they're told in a "this adventure happened and then this adventure happened" sort of way. So I like that T.H. White mimics that to an extent in his own epic tale.
