review 1: I loved this second book in the series! This ties in all the Medieval things that I really like! Tristan and his friends Robard (loosely based on Robin Hood?) and Maryam (loosely based on Maid Marian?) are still trying to get away from Sir Hugh, the evil Templar Knight, that wants the Holy Grail that Tristan is taking back to England. Along the way Tristan meets a lovely Cathar girl named Celia, who is also trying to escape from an evil man of the church who is called The High Counsel. Tristan goes out of his way to help Celia, but then must try to get to England to fulfill his mission of delivering the Holy Grail to holy men he can trust. Sir Hugh finally catches up with the 3 friends, but fortunately their dog, Angel, helps them escape. The book ends with a cliffha... morenger. Sir Hugh is about to hang Maryam is Tristan does not give him the Grail. And Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine is helping Sir Hugh! She hints that Tristan is somehow a threat to her son, King Richard the Lionheart's throne. And so ends book 2 in the trilogy!
review 2: Agghhhhh! It can't end there! I love the adventure with Tristan, Myram, Robard, and Angel. We are still in the dark about Tristan's past, but meeting the Queen was a great ending to book two to push me on to book three. I don't want to give anything up, so not much in the way of a review here.I do have to say, I love the historical fiction. I wish we had more historical fiction novels. I think my middlel school students would love the story and the adventure. less
