The seventh book: #7 Tirant lo Blanc

So I'm not quite sure I completely got this book. It's partially meant to be a satire, which came through but didn't hit as well as it would have, as I have not read as many of the work that are its inspiration (and none are really on the list either). It's a light book about a knight who becomes emperor of Constantinople (an early alternate history novel), and his adventures to get there. It hits all the known tropes - unknown knight appearing, difficult romances with intrigue and so on.

It read easily for that reason, easy enough to read and follow along with entertaining stories in there. It's not quite as funny as it should be, but it's as amusing as anything. While it doesn't quite work as a satire, it works as a lighter knight story anyway, probably more entertaining than heavy romances.

Worth my time and I hope there'll be more along like this. Don Quixote for one - a book Tirant lo Blanc inspired, and with a similar setup. It should be good fun.
