Sword Stone Table: Old Legends, New Voices by Jenn Northington, Swapna Krishna

3.0

Only a few of these stories really worked for me if I’m honest, and I don’t think any of them were in the Present section. One whole star for the Future section—the former dragged on for so long I was fearing this might be a 2 star read for me. I love Arthuriana but barring deep character development—which can be challenging in a short story—I really was looking for more creative adaptations of the legends than I got in most of these stories. Silvia Moreno Garcia’s story was a standout favorite, as was Rohani Chokshi’s. I really enjoyed Ken Liu’s as well, but I was a bit stumped as to the Arthurian connection, to be honest.
