* {{Anvilicious}}: The WarIsHell message is delivered with zero subtlety.
* BrokenBase: Is it a worthy epilogue to one of the most beloved fantasy novels of all time, or is it an interesting literary curiosity that is robbed of its effectiveness by White's self-indulgent hatred of humanity's evils?
* TearJerker: More or less the entire book, particularly with the way [[TheWoobie Arthur]] is utterly broken by the way all he has tried to do has come to nothing, and how his kingdom and his Round Table are crumbling around him.
