A review by berlinbibliophile
Bird, Blood, Snow by Cynan Jones

4.0

Stabbing someone in the eye may be okay in medieval times, but it's not okay now. And so this modern retelling of Peredur's story from the Mabinogion shows the reader what happens when modern reality is applied to the events of the story - Peredur is not herioc, he is violent and mentally ill, and does no good either to himself or for others. Cynan Jones' book does incredibly well in portraying the disconnect between chivalric codes and modern life, and his words are carefully chosen for maximum impact. I definitely recommend this one to any Arthurian enthusiast.
