Review:
The best thing about the book is that despite being a fairy tale there is no traditional "happily ever after" ending (something I've grown to hate). In fact, we learn that death is inevitable. There's also a tiny bit of sadness in the last few ending lines. I liked this book right from the beginning. Secondly, there is no love-at-first-sight between Tristran and Yvain which is how I prefer in books. In the end, I had wanted Tristran and Yvain to settle in the human world after the eventful and magical adventure but the ending suited me just fine.
My favorite secondary character was the "the little hairy man," a funny character full of humor. It was quite unexpected the way Giaman worked out the "Two Mondays coming together" (a sort of spell that would relieve Una from his servitude) and I had to laugh at the idea.
