Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table by Thomas Malory

3.0

Wow, this was bland! Being an English major, I understand that 15th-century literature is significantly different to what we’ve since grown accustomed to. Nevertheless, I couldn’t even finish the first story before throwing in the towel. Even as a modernized version of Malory’s text, the battle scenes were overly verbose while offering little to no detail, paragraphs consisting of a list of characters were abundant and nearly impossible to unpack, and the prose left much to be desired. Unless you’re an Arthurian legend buff, I wouldn’t recommend this text.
