Sword of the Rightful King: A Novel of King Arthur

Sword of the Rightful King: A Novel of King Arthur

By Jane Yolen

Sword of the Rightful King was a well-woven, SPELL-binding, Arthurian tale; from the first chapter to the last, especially the first chapter, which immediately captures your interest. The whole book overall has a good rhythm and doesn't slow down midway through the book; instead it speeds up. The finishing chapters make you question everything you just read and then you think "how could I have missed THAT?" Full of plot twists and mystery. I love how it switches perspectives, and even though you think you know a character, you really only know as much as the other characters, which gives you the sense that you are IN the story and it is unfolding all around you. Ms. Yolen also pays great attention to the smallest details of the storyline, which I makes me enjoy the story all the more. I can smell the blood on the ground, hear the baying of the dying brachet, and feel the sword in my hand. The only thing I regret about reading this is that I am now hooked and there is no sequel. I suggest to ages 11 and up, as there is some mild language, but in all, it was "an old story but a good one."

The Warrior Heir

The Warrior Heir

By Cinda Williams Chima

Honestly, this book had a very sloooow beginning. The only reason i was able to get through it was because my friends recommended the series to me. But when I read on, I saw that the author had woven a rich web of connected stories that linked together, complete with a major climax. Chima created a world of magic I've never seen before.

Small Persons with Wings

Small Persons with Wings

By Ellen Booraem

I decided to read this book for 2& reasons. #1 is that it had a HILARIOUS title (or at least I thought so.) Anywayays reason #2 is that the glittery cover caught my eye because I personally LOVE glittery things. Here are 3 solid reasons why you should read this book. #1 is that it isn't a soppy love story I mean it does have some really ackward parts. But doesn't every book have those? Reason #2 is that this book keeps it interesting it have great cliffhangers and it has a new twist around every chapter! My #3 reason is that it's a totally original book. It doesn't go along with your normal storyline,villain,or as you can see on the cover, small persons with wings!

This so far is a very spoofy and magical book that takes place in the basic kingdom of Corona. I have just got into it and I am looking forward to what is next...

Dragon: Hound of Honor

Dragon: Hound of Honor

By Julie Andrews Edwards, Emma Walton Hamilton

This book is a great Historical-Fiction book! It's a Medieval murder mystery and the dog knows who did it. But how is he supposed to tell them? Is it a friend or a family member or someone else?
