Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Vicky

This book is very intruiging book, putting together romance and war, while altogether giving the reader a good perspective of what is going on in Elayne's life.

Set back in the time of Arthur before Camelot and the sword in the stone, this book tells of Elayne's life with her two brothers and father after her mother was killed. They live in an army camp where Elayne becomes friends with Arthure, Lancelot, Tristan, and many more men there.

Later on in the book, Elayne soon realizes that she is in love with Lancelot, and hopes that he feels the same way. But all her hopes are dashed when Lady Gwenivere comes into the scene. Elayne and Gwenivere do not get along at all. Then the army has to march to a battlefield to go to war, leaving the two women behind. When Elayne follows and is captured, Gwenivere comes to try to save her, but gets captured in the process. They finally escape, but Elayne gets shot. Will she live? Or will she die? Will she ever find true love?

I fell in love with this book the moment I started to read it. The characters in this book all speak in old english, which I think is pretty cool. I love the mystery and adventure of the book, and I think Elayne's courage and bravery represents many girls of that age.

I love this book and recommend it to anyone who likes to read adventure and romance.
