A review by amandumb
Ivanhoe by Walter Scott

4.0

delightful! i think i prefer waverley—the “sixty years since” setting of that novel was more vivid to me than scott’s rendering of the anglo-norman past, in terms of both setting and characterization—but all the same, i quite enjoyed this! sometimes i just need to read a novel that feels like a novel, and ivanhoe certainly satisfied that craving.
