Status Updates From The Bright Sword

the oscillation between hazy, fantastic and gritty, realistic brand of fantasy is familiar (like Sapkowski, but with (oh way too much) Jesus! and minus the pierogi), but I am still waiting for something gut-punching emotion-wise. the soup is good, but hmm. big fan of Guinvere's and Nimue/Merlin treatment (always on the market for any Merlin treatment that can approach Nye's perverse brilliance).
