    After being distracted by other things for the last week I finally listened to a large chunk of ENEMY OF GOD today. Holy shit that that's a take on a classic tale.

    Spoiler



    It's one of my favourite parts of Enemy of God, it's done so well. The last line of that chapter is one of those lines in a book that I just never forget:

    What in the absolute fuck Lancelot!?

    Spoiler


    Just finished the book. Wow. 5*. I think I need a cigarette.


    I think Cornwell's Lancelot might be the best dismantling of an established character I've ever come across.

    Just you wait until you meet Guinevere in her Excalibur era....!

    Not sure who this would appeal to - but Peter S Beagle's The Last Unicorn and other works are back in print in the UK for the first time in decades (presumably after the legal problems with his IP rights were resolved). Bought myself a new copy (my copy was bought in Florida when I was 11 and has been very well read since and is falling apart) along with The Inkeeper's Song, A Fine and Private Place and The Way Home, none of which I've read before.

    TLU one of the most beautiful books I've ever read - for anyone unfamiliar I'd say it's a forerunner in style to the kooky take on fairytales that Neil Gaiman does, but with more heart and charm and a drier wit.

    Believe it or not, he actually gets worse before the end of the trilogy...


    Considering how the character's traditional story plays out, yeah, I believe it. He's always been an asshole.

    I really appreciate how Cornwell has done such an excellent job at shifting each of the core characters in ways that fits his narrative but still really rings true to their traditional archetype with Galahad, Lancelot, and Merlin in particular standing out.

    Hah I remember ranting at TRB about Lancelot when I was reading this. Like "aaargh I hate him so much!"


    Your rants about Lancelot and pre-book 3 Guinevere were so fun Posted Image

    What Hoosier said. Loved your reading sessions on Youtube. Do you still do them (I ask because I'm hoping for more)

    Your videos on YouTube are awesome. It's always different hearing the voices in another person's tone and accent. Really enjoyed them, thanks so much!
