Es gibt im Gedächtnis der Menschen und Kulturen Geschichten, die eine besonders mythische Kraft besitzen. Sie überdauern die Zeiten und bilden den Urstoff des Erzählens. Das Gilgamesch- Epos, die Odyssee, der Sagenkreis um König Artus und das Nibelungenlied gehören ebenso dazu wie Tausendundeine Nacht oder die Geschichte von Don Quijote, dem Ritter von der traurigen Gestalt.

Review of "Le Morte d'Arthur" on 'Goodreads'

Kinda wish I hadn't read this. Feels like I wasted my time.

Neither of the main characters are very likeable. Karter is so rude in the previous book it's hard to switch gears in this one. And Jax is so dishonest and inconsistent in his expectations. Like he gets mad about the house-hunting because Karter is being too alpha, and then he gets mad about Karter not initiating anything physical because alphas are supposed to be the ones who initiate.

And knowing that Jax is being dishonest about why he wanted to mate with Karter really makes the whole house-hunting thing very distasteful anyway. "Do better." Ok, yeah, but at least Karter's honest. Jax isn't even honest about his rage; he pretends to be confused and sad. He comes across as very manipulative which I guess can be excused because of his trauma but Karter didn't cause the trauma so …

Review of "Le Morte D'Arthur" on 'Goodreads'

Picked this up on Audible to read more about the oldest versions of the Arthurian legend - and this is about as old as they get, dating from 1485. Derek Jacobi does a brilliant job narrating the epic in a conversational way that makes the old English very accessible. Very interesting to read this version of the story and see how much it has changed in more recent versions, as well as how much storytelling style itself has changed. Overall conclusion: poor Mordred, while not the best of characters, has far less to do with the fall of Arthur and Camelot than Guenevier and Lancelot, who really seem to me to be the cause of the entire kingdom's downfall. Interesting study of the perception of what was considered chivalrous, heroic, and admirable at that time in history.
