Dinadan actually isn’t my favorite in the Squire’s Tales series, but I still love it all the same. It’s a very somber look at tragic romances and love, but still shows hope throughout.

Charming and witty. Will have to read the others in the series now.

Not bad. I love this author’s wit and this is a good story overall, but it lacks the epic of some of the previous books.

This is one of my favorites, even though it hasn’t got Gawain or Terence. Also, that ending is one of my favorites of any book. I love that Brangienne and Dinadan don’t end up together, and they acknowledge their love but know they’re better off separate because I think that’s so rarely told in stories!

I love medieval minstrels and knights, so I saw this and thought it would be a fun lighthearted read. I wasn't expecting to get as emotionally invested as I did, but I genuinely fell in love with the characters of Dinadan, Brangienne, Palomides, and Bedivere. I thought the story as a whole was going to be fairly predictable, especially due to having some familiarity with the two main legends the story was based on, but the ending of Dinadan and Brangienne's story specifically took me by surprise in a very good way - it felt true to their characters and a satisfying ending.
Overall, the best praise I can give this book is that when I finished it, I immediately ordered the first book in the Squire's Tales series, knowing I wanted to read more of Morris' work. He seems like an excellent storyteller, whose work can be enjoyed and appreciated by people of all ages.

A fun, curious story of Sir Dinadan, and a hilarious take on the story of Tristan and Isolde as a good deal of the side-plot. I enjoyed my time in Camelot!

Probably my favorite of the Squire's Tales, with a protagonist as witty, charming, and genuinely caring as you could ask for. Introducing as it does Sir Palomides, for a refreshing glimpse of outside-England, and the sardonic wit of Brangienne, this is a stand-out tale.
