The Buried Giant

 A great take on the Arthurian legend and a complex accounting of man's ability to live peacefully.

The storytelling is superb. As the author lifts the mist off of his protagonists, we believe in them and feel for them.

Also as the mist in the story lifts, the players must contend with a past that has been hidden from them.

Can true love survive the memory of guilt and petty betrayals? Can a peace be sustained by the erasure of tragedy? Are legends remembered incorrectly worthy of their glory?

Must we all travel into that good night alone?

The book offers no answers, but it does weave a good tale while asking them.
