Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Thomas Malory

3.0

The only thing I feel now is "huh." Because this is the biggest slog I've ever read, and even being interested and invested in the mythos wasn't enough to keep me from picking up and putting it down constantly. This took me a solid two months, and it wasn't even the language that was the problem. There's... Not a lot that actually happens here, other than fight scenes and people roaming around on horses, which I guess is fine? I've read other books about Arthurian mythos before, Gawain and the Green Knight is by far one of my favourite things on the planet, but this? This is impossible to get through and almost every book boils down to "x person went to x place and did some Knightly Things and then went home either fine or stabbed". I understand the historical and mythological importance here, but I would recommend reading something more abridged or watching videos over picking this up.
