A review by tamarabrouwer
Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Thomas Malory
I'm not rating this book, because I wouldn't know how to. If it would've been a novel it would receive 1-2 stars. If only for the horrible amount of enumerations. What a drag that was. The light of most of this book was Morgan Le Fey. She makes things interesting. As were the last 4 chapters.
If it would've been a non fiction, I would've rated it higher.
But it isn't that easily categorised, and so I'll say this about my reading experience:
I'm glad I've read this source material. I think it will be very useful while reading other Arthurian tales/novels.
I also enjoyed recognising many things from fairy tales growing up. And it doesn't surprise me that this work ended up being the inspiration for so many wonderful stories. Because although the writing style is extremely tedious and sleep inducing, it's content certainly isn't.
