I've been assigned this tale twice for school, and I've enjoyed it both times. It's easy to follow and easy to get through, but it's also an interesting look back to a time that doesn't even feel real. Yes, I know headless knights and magical shields were never real, but they feel as real as the 1390s do.

What a fun read. I definitely liked this better than Armitage's translation of The Death of King Arthur. I think that's because I like the story better. It wasn't just a huge battle with tons of fights, but more a typical Arthurian quest. I wish it had been a bit longer, but I really enjoyed the story, characters, and general pacing of it. It was also broken into four parts, which made it easier for me to find stopping points in the story, which, again, I liked a lot.
