I forgot how brutal this could be at times. Also noticing on a second read (first read many years ago) how it was influenced by other texts, both native and continental. Some parts very similar to Malory (Peredur and his jousts), some parts more Stan Lee/X-Men type stuff (knights with "mutant powers"). The Sioned Davies trans. is proving a much smoother read.
