🙈🙈🙈 Is it the end yet?
(I so should have dnfed this...)

(Note for myself: 10 next)
This really is poorly assembled... some of the stories even don't have magical element to them. And some of them really require better notes (like Zellandine). There is one story that gets flagged as misogynistic, while in reality almost all of them are! (which makes it almost funny)
There were a few stories I liked, but... I can't really remember which ones... 😬

I listened to some more of this yesterday... It's really... not entertaining at all. Like, I KNOW there is ton of amazing mediaeval stories but they sure weren't picked into this collection!
One of the stories reminded me of Lanval so that was interesting, but... ugh, idk, I should probably DNF this...

The narration is awful.
The fist tale was from Marie de France which I take as a good sign.
Otherwise there really wasn't that much witchcraft so far, so it's little disappointing. The Venomous Maiden is the most interesting so far - not really from the magical perspective but from the gender perspective.
