A review by bookswithcesco
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo by Christopher Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien

3.0

I’d like to think that I could enjoy these stories. But the only ones I listened to were Gawain and Green Knight Pearl. It’s a good story, but anything in old/middle-English kills my vibe.

I’m also not a fan of the over Christianization that happens with most old stories as they are translated. These translations were different from others I have read. But all in all it’s not terrible to listen to as a recap.

Pearl really wasn’t my cup of tea though. Not the vibe.
