"A noble traveler arrives at the court of the Burgund, the Dragons of the Rhine. He is Sigfrid Sigmundson, warrior and shapeshifter, already fabled throughout the land for having slain Fafnar, the terrible battle-wurm. Welcomed into the royal circle, Sigfrid is proclaimed blood-brother by Gundohar, the young Burgund liege. But an insidious magic of an aging witch chains Sigfrid to this place - binding him with desire for the enchanting princess Gudrun... causing him to betray a heartsworn promise and a devoted love."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

I think it's that I find it all a little predictable, especially knowing the author's neopagan roots and close connections to Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of Mists of Avalon. It's as if I know what's going to come up before I even read it, especially since it seemed to be hewing pretty closely to Wagner's librettos. I thought the third person narrative flowed better than the first person of Serpent, but especially comparing it to similar books I don't think this added anything to the legends. Jack Whyte's take on the King Arthur legend, for instance, gave me a lot of pleasure in the clever ways it mixed myth and history, so that when the sword Excalibur turned out to be forged from a meteor, I was madly grinning. And with Colleen McCullough's Master of Rome series, I was impressed with how she rendered the Ancient Roman mindset, so when a classicist friend spoke of wanting dignitas in her career, I knew exactly what she meant. And Gillian Bradshaw's novels of the late Roman world didn't just enthrall by taking me to an ancient world, but immediately connected me to her characters. Compared to such novels, this felt routine. ( )
