Koning Arthur trilogie

Rate this book
De Koning Arthur-trilogie bevat drie spannende ridderromans die zich afspelen in het Engeland van de zesde eeuw. Deze bijzondere legendes vertellen over Koning Arthur en de Ridders van de Ronde Tafel, waaronder Tristan en Parcival.

In het eerste deel, Koning Arthur, trekt Arthur een zwaard uit een steen en wordt tot koning gekroond. Om recht en barmhartigheid te laten gelden in zijn rijk, wordt hij bijgestaan door de wijze ziener Merlijn, de Ridders van de Ronde Tafel en de kleine hofnar Guy.

In het tweede deel, Tristan en Isolde, raakt Tristan bevriend met koning Mark en wordt hij al snel benoemd tot troonopvolger. Als hij echter de mooie Isolde als bruid voor zijn heer moet halen, wordt hij zelf verliefd op haar.

In het derde en laatste deel, Parcival, gaat Parcival op zoek naar de Heilige Graal. Geen enkele Ridder van de Ronde Tafel is er tot nu toe in geslaagd om deze te vinden. Zou Parcival, de jonge held, kunnen slagen waar de dapperste helden faalden?

I liked it, I did. Arthurian stories have always held a special place somewhere inside me, this time however...

I missed Morgana, she was not mentioned, not once. The whole 'incident' between her and Arthur from which came Mordred was never told in this version of Arthur. Merlin was a 'simple human' without a single magical power.
And there was this guy called Guy who never before was present in an Arthurian tale. At least, not to my knowledge. And his puns were fun to read, but not enough for me to like his character and believe him relevant to the story. I would have prefered that his 'screentime' would have been given to Guinevere, to make her a stronger and a more important character to the story.

But, most of all, I was quite bummed out that Morgana made no appearance...

I did read Tristan and Isolde, but it felt like I was just re-reading Arthur, only with different names... So I did not bother reading Percival.
