Admittedly I had never been impressed with the first book, but there were enough moments of 'that was rather anticlimactic' for me to worry that my love for this book was unfounded and that a second read with a critical eye would reveal all sorts of flaws that hadn't been there before. I was less than impressed with the first book of the Squire's Tales. Guys, I have to admit, for a while there I was worried. Sparks instantly fly between Terence and Eileen as she joins the squire and his knight on their travelsĪs they weave their way between the world of men and the Other World, both Gawain and Terence discover much about themselves- Terence learns more about his past and about what the future holds for him, and Gawain is forced to confront the true nature of courage and honor.Īlso known as 'The Continuing Adventures of the Sir Wozzells' (look, you can never have too many, alright?).
Synopsis: (from the publisher) Squire Terence and Sir Gawain are off questing again, but this time their journey is overshadowed by their ultimate destination- Gawain is to meet up with the Green Knight in a contest that could easily lead to Gawain's death.Īlong the way the two have a slew of hair-raising adventures and encounter the usual odd assortment of characters: the dreaded Huntsman of Anglesey the eccentric Parsifal and the evil Marquis of Alva, from whom they rescue the plucky Lady Eileen. Title: The Squire, His Knight, & His Lady I'd be more than happy to have some guest posts. If you have a different opinion, write it up. I may hate a book you love or I may love a book you hate.
These reviews are my opinions of the books. Links to Arthurian Encyclopedias at the bottom of the page. Therefore, I'm not going to take time to explain who the characters are and what roles they traditionally play. As I said above, I'm assuming that everyone reading already knows the legend and is looking for different interpretations of that legend. Thus, all my reviews will include spoilers. My goal here is to analyze the effectiveness of those interpretations. Those who read King Arthur books do so to see different interpretations of the characters and the stories. I'm approaching this blog with the assumption that everyone reading already knows the ultimate spoiler of the King Arthur Legend: Everyone Dies. Superscripts next to title links to reviews on this site. Here is the Master List of books read, books owned and books needed to complete a series. You can find me on Fictionpress where I write novels about King Arthur, Superheroes and Vampires (but not at the same time) and at Pardon My Sarcasm where I rage about how the republicans are ruining all things.
