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

adventurous slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I enjoyed this much more on a second/third read. There is a lot of masterful foreshadowing within the text, and I enjoyed the parallel story structures within. Gawain himself is a complex character, and I enjoyed watching him experience a challenge to his code of chivalry.
