2.7 - I'm always hoping and expecting really old myths/lore to be this crazy insane thing with monsters or something really crazy but it's always just knights and marriages lol. This book definitely felt like reading a Tolkien novel however, as this had many elements of the fantasy genre we know today. It definitely felt like something I could've seen Tolkien read. I found this rather slow and dull for my taste but it's fascinating to have the ability to read tales this old nonetheless and I appreciate it for that.
