Percival is the sweetest little rural cinnamon roll and I love him.

And that's a wrap for Chretien's romances. Full review to come, but suffice to say, I loved this experience.

Lancelot would have no issue with the trolley problem; he'd pick whichever side has a more beautiful lady on it. Lest you think I am projecting, the text includes when he was stuck between mercy to a knight he defeated or "generosity" for a lady who demands he behead the loser. He knows neither of them btw

Chretien, explaining the premise of "Cliges" to Marie de Champagne: "Tristan and Isolde are ADULTERERS and TERRIBLE, but my OCs are PURE and BASED because they're CHRISTIANS and NOT ADULTERERS"

Marie: "...Okay, fine, whatever, but after this you need to write Lancelot x Guinevere"

Not only are Erec and Enide endearingly comic, the narrative voice is pretty sassy: “I could tell you about xyz, but I have other things I’d rather do.” (a paraphrase, but not by much)

I laughed when a count tries to woo Enide with a dramatic speech, and she replies, “Okay, but I don’t care.”
