As an orphan, Tristan never dreamed he would travel the world or discover the truth about his past. But all that changes when the Knights Templar ride through the abbey on their way to battle. Suddenly, Tristan finds himself as a squire to one of the most respected knights. While exciting, it is also dangerous, as Tristan gets caught between rival knights desperate for power and entrusted with the most sacred relic - the Holy Grail. With the help of a young archer and a deadly warrior, can Tristan safely bring the Holy Grail back to England? Or will he succumb to the dangers of the evil men who follow in its wake?

WARNING!
Do NOT,
under any circumstances, read this book. I repeat, do not read this book.
Unless…
Unless
you have the other 2 books within an arms length away! These books end
horribly! They get to a really exciting and dire part and then, BAM! They slap
a cute little “to be continued…” at the end and that’s it! Outrageous!
So
unless you enjoy torture at the hands of evil scheming authors don’t read these
books without the others present!
Warning
Ended.
I
fortunately own this whole trilogy, and I’m actually re-reading it. Though when
I bought the first book I did not have the other two books. It was several
months, maybe even a year later; by the time I got my hands on the second book.
That was terrible! Absolute torture! *mutters something about inconsiderate
authors*
So
now I am finally reliving these books!
So the second time around I’ve noticed that
this book doesn’t have a whole lot of detail, but it’s still intriguing
nonetheless.
I
haven’t read many works of historical fiction, but this is definitely a
favorite of mine!
It’s
not too terribly suspenseful unlike other books I’ve read, but I love the
storyline! Though I guess it could be considered cliché, but still I really
like it!
In
fact when I stumbled across this book I had been writing something of a similar
plotline, but of course it had its differences. Though story fizzled out pretty
quickly.
Spradlin’s
writing isn’t anything I would overly praise but it is good and solid. You can
really tell he put a lot of hard work into this book.
Oh,
and if someone had been watching me while I was re-reading this book, I would
undoubtedly be locked up by now. I would periodically whisper to the book how
excited I was for what I knew was coming next.
Yeah…
I know…
But
it was fun! :-P
And
that’s not all! I would say to my brother, “The bandits are coming! I’m so
excited!” or, “The Assassin’s are coming! I’m so excited!” and of course, “The
evil dude is coming! I’m so excited!”
I
think I kind of freaked him out… I don’t know why… :-P
I
really love this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys
swords, archery, and a little bit of humor!
But
again, don’t read it! Well you know, unless you have the others within
reach.
