review 1: My younger brother and I conferred notes together after reading through this book and both came to the conclusion that though we both liked this tale of knights and fair maidens, fantastical creatures, and seeking a lowly lifestyle in trade of the sinful riches of this world, that we didn't as much care for the conclusions and writing style of this book as much as some of the others by this author. I found there didn't seem to be *quite as strong an emphasis on the spiritual as perhaps others by Chuck Black. This second series focuses more inward at the working of the heart and by doing this I felt the story became slightly more average in this particular case. Yet still thrilling and enjoyable, especially for younger grades. :)
review 2: Option One Book
... more Three Started on June Twenty First Sir Bentley And Holbrook Court By: Chuck Black Sir Bentley is a young Knight that just becomes a Knight of The King. And those knights don't necessarily go by all The King's rules and they don't believe The Prince (who really is the King's son) is really the prince since he first acted like a commoner then said he was the Prince sent to teach the world about The King. Now Sir Bentley was always asking about this Prince and Lord Kifus grew suspicious and eventually made Bentley fight four and wounded them,but even when ordered did not kill them and they ran off into the woods. Kifus was furious,but didn't say a word. Later Bentley and York had disarmed some more followers,but couldn't kill them and asked York "What crime did they commit" and York replied "Do not question me kill them". Bentley turned around with his sword ready to defend. As they fought Bentley got used to York's abilities and injured him. The followers took Bentley to a strange empty room and asked him questions about himself and why he did what he did. After a while they decided to trust him and took him slowly and stealthily back home. And later got directions to Swallows Creek. He quickly told his parents and his dad forced him to go ahead and leave. He met a man that didn't seem to be able to talk and they finally made it to his cabin and found out he learned how to talk a little bit with half of his tongue cut off. And he also taught Bentley about the King and gave him a few tips on sword fighting. After a while Bentley went out to see the town while he was walking on the road he witnessed a wreck and the families father's leg got smashed and Bentley couldn't pull the cart of the father until a big strong young man came and helped him get the cart off of the guy. Now Bentley offered to stay and help the family farm while the father's leg heals. Now Bentley's life changes drastically with this family, The Mercy Maiden, and a little girl that was born to were it is almost impossible to move and her mom is deathly sick.
