Triumph dem tapferen Troubadour by Gerald Morris

5.0

I love medieval minstrels and knights, so I saw this and thought it would be a fun lighthearted read. I wasn't expecting to get as emotionally invested as I did, but I genuinely fell in love with the characters of Dinadan, Brangienne, Palomides, and Bedivere. I thought the story as a whole was going to be fairly predictable, especially due to having some familiarity with the two main legends the story was based on, but the ending of Dinadan and Brangienne's story specifically took me by surprise in a very good way - it felt true to their characters and a satisfying ending.

Overall, the best praise I can give this book is that when I finished it, I immediately ordered the first book in the Squire's Tales series, knowing I wanted to read more of Morris' work. He seems like an excellent storyteller, whose work can be enjoyed and appreciated by people of all ages.
