Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo by J.R.R. Tolkien
adventurous
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
I enjoyed this much more on a second/third read. There is a lot of masterful foreshadowing within the text, and I enjoyed the parallel story structures within. Gawain himself is a complex character, and I enjoyed watching him experience a challenge to his code of chivalry.
