I *almost* didn't read this one yet because I found out that it's the third book in a trilogy, and usually I'm really anal about reading books in order. But I thought, It's Arthurian! I know all the characters; how confusing can it be?
It wasn't very confusing. :) Although, I give this book credit...

I hate to say that these were really disappointing :(
(There was literally only ONE story about vikings in this whole book!)
Also worth noting, is that these tales are heavily influenced by early christian views of the Scandinavian countries, rather than the pantheon of norse gods and goddesses....

Bill (my husband) bought these books for me two years ago as a present because they were favorites of his as a kid. At first, I thought they were corny and heavy-handed in their foreshadowing (and I still think so; another criticism is that there are threads of the story that just pop up out of nowhere in later...

Po dočtení jsem se musela podívat, jaké je autor národnosti, protože z toho dýchá takový ten správně suchý anglický humor. Lehce hororový nádech a zajímavá atmosféra. Ale samozřejmě, některé povídky jsou lepší než jiné.
Nejvíc hororové pro mě bylo líčení...

This volume falls somewhere between filler and setup. The plot is mostly throwaway stuff -- Naofumi and Rishia have been separated from their team in a new world and have to team up with a new hero to find them. Lots of inconsequential action takes place, there's an inconsequential villain, and at the...
