Even though I knew the historical story lines of both Tristan and Isolde and Arthur, I enjoyed this telling of the tales. Some readers have complained about the use of the old language, but that was part of what I enjoyed. Gaelic is a wonderful way to add depth and mystery. The characters were well developed and I cared what happened to them, even though I knew the inevitable outcome. The visuals were excellent and historical characters and places were blended well with the fictional parts. For those who need simple phrases and words (grow up and learn to read) this isn't for you, but if you're an adventurous reader who likes to submerge yourself in the language and era, it's a fun ride.
