The Once and Future King by T.H. White

Did not finish book. Stopped at 69%.
The last book, Candle in the Wind, starts with a long rant about the Irish and goes indepth in White's own philosophy about power.
Personally, I don't agree or like his philosophy, I'm not interested in reading about it, and I care little for his anti-irishness. Mordred explicitely is described as "a Gael, everything that could be anti-English".
Lastly, this is the part of the story I'm the least interested about, the downfall of Camelot and the time when it all comes to a head.
Otherwise, these are splendid books, and this version in particular is extremely well narrated, I just really have no interest in finishing the last book of the series.

It drags on too much and the slang becomes unbearable after a while.

The dynamic between Lyra and Malcolm was creeping me out, plus the train scene.
