Evaluation About Books The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf (The Squire's Tales #3)

This book is hilarious and my favorite of Gerald Morris' stories. I don't want to give away the ending but this book had me laughing so much I teared up. I loved the heroine because she wasn't perfect and she grew up throughout the story. Her sister was perfectly horrible, the knight she finds is without much "real" honor, and the dwarf is pricelessly hilarious and charming. I highly recommend to camelot stories fans or anyone who likes a fast paced funny fantasy read.

Funny, adventurous, and by no means are the women in the books unassertive fainting damsels in distress. I enjoyed the story and the take on Arthurian legends - particularly the end notes comparing the original story to the retelling.My only dislike is Lynet's often verbally abusive behavior and inability to make an actual apology, first to someone she perceives is a kitchen hand, and later to her friend. I would like to give benefit of the doubt and say her behavior stems from concern for the

Just delightful! I was a little unsure at first since this book (the third in the series) wasn't really about Terence and Gawain like the first two, but it ended up being great anyway. The new cast of characters is wonderful.

A brutal knight has Lynet and her sister Lyonese's castle, the Castle Perle, under siege. When no one has been able to defeat him, Lynet decides to travel to Camelot seeking the help of a knight of the round table. At the beginning of her journey, she happens upon a dwarf whom she un-swords, and yet he still helps her.He teaches her how to find her way as they travel. Meeting others along the way, Lynet is encouraged to compete her quest. At Camelot, Sir Kai assigns a kitchen boy as her knight.

This book was hilarious! The beginning was a little annoying because of Medieval gender conformities but other than that it was a great tale about Ladies, Knights, and Magic and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light and lovely read.

This is definitely my favorite so far in the Squire's Tales series, all of which I have enjoyed. It has a great deal of humor, but this one has more romance and apparently that just made the book for me! Lynet and Roger are endearing main characters, and the resolution of their story is very satisfying. Morris writes smooth, witty and entertaining dialogue that keeps me turning pages while also fearing the book will end too quickly.

Update (9/1/2012):This is just as enjoyable as I remember it being! It is my favorite in the series, so far. I love Morris' re-tellings and what he adds in to make sense of it all. I have been trying to remember the name of this book for ages; I read this book a few years ago and LOVED it. I remember thinking that I wished there were more like it--I had no idea it was a part of a series! Now I will have to find and read the first two books.
