Not sure of RLSs writing style is always like this, or if it was pseudo-medieval speak, but it took a bit of getting used to. Hero not too bright in many ways and something very odd seems to be going on with the Wars of the Roses chronology!

I really enjoyed reading these Medieval stories. My favorite one was Erec and Enide. I had to read these for one of my college classes on Medieval Literature and it was very interesting to be able to read.

I loved, in Erec and Enide, how it was set up into three acts and how all of them were so different from each other.

When I was rereading some other fiction that I really enjoy, I noticed some allusions to the Erec and Enide story, specifically the hunt of the White Stag which I thought was very cool. I'm not sure whether or not the author meant to do it, but it was definitely there.

I had to do a paper on Erec and Enide, so I was able to analyze their relationship and how i changes over the course of the story.

I'm keeping this review pretty short and I may come back to add more later.

I recommend this to anyone who really likes Medieval literature and stories about King Arthur and his court.
