What do You think about The Savage Damsel And The Dwarf (2004)?
These books definitely come with a Light Reads disclaimer. There is very little showing, most of the characters are simple rather than complex, and especially in this case, plot twists don't tend to be earth-shattering.Still, the stories are fun. Gawain and Terence have passed fully into more one-note NPCs, if you will, leaving room for other characters to quest and bicker. The bickering is my favourite part. How many fantasy novels feature one (adult) brother accusing his (also adult) brother of bed-wetting?Lynet is up there with most of the decent non-simpering, non-manipulative female characters. When she does dumb things out of ignorance, her ignorance isn't terribly frustrating, nor willful stupidity. She's understandably green at the start of her adventure. It's a little awkward when she falls into acting like an idiot over a crush, but (view spoiler)[she later realises infatuation for what it was and moves past it in a show of maturity. (hide spoiler)]

One of the best books in fantasy genre. It has everything: humour, adventure, love story, morale. I can't help loving the main charcters also: Lynet and Roger. I found myself laughing at every new page. So witty without being a cynical story. One of the scene that I can't help laughing every time I remember is the misunderstanding of the word courageous and dim. To think that Blue Knight said it without knowing. " The dimmest knight in the world". Hihihi. It makes you think about the narrow line between being courageous and being dim.

Lady Lynet falls in with Gawain and his brothers and after many adventures in the woods finds true love in the least warlike of the crew. Though Morris never comes out and calls her chubby (I think he describes her once as "large"), he does hint by endowing her with a healthy appetite--and how rare is even that in Malory-influenced Arthurian tales? The way Sir Gareth is pried out from under his stupid oath is pretty clever too. First read when new, re-read 6/14. A.Notable passage: Sir Gareth's vow grieved the soul of his brother Sir Gaheris, who spoke to Sir Gawain. "Gawain, my brother," quoth Sir Gaheris, "we cannot let our youngest brother expose himself to such danger. The silly sod will get lost before e'er going out of sight of the castle. To speak truth, Gareth hath need of a trail of breadcrumbs to find his own chamberpot."
