This review is from: The Light Beyond the Forest: The Quest for the Holy Grail (Paperback)

I read this book when I was in fifth grade and I was thoroughly entranced with the tale of King Arthur's knights and their adventures as they searched for the Holy Grail. There are some unfamiliar words in the book, but the story is not confusing or hard to follow. However, the writing is somewhat dense and may leave some people bored. Though I loved this book when I was in fifth grade, I had a hard time re-reading it when I was older because I felt the writing was too slow.

The book mainly follows three knights of the Round Table on their separate searches for the Holy Grail, so each chapter tells about a different episode in one of the knight's quests. There are plenty of haunting and mysterious scenes here to intrigue anyone. One of the most beautiful parts of the story is the description of Sir Lancelot meeting Sir Galahad.

This book is the second in a trilogy; the first one is THE SWORD AND THE CIRCLE, which tells of how King Arthur comes to his throne and also includes many other Arthurian legends, such as Sir Gawain and the Loathely Lady. It leads up to the Quest for the Holy Grail, which is the story of this book. The last book in the trilogy is THE ROAD TO CAMLAAN which tells about the end of Camelot. All three books are very good re-tellings of the King Arthur stories, though I think this one is the best of the trilogy.

The Quest for the Holy Grail
The Light Beyond the Forest by Rosemary Sutcliff had an extremely interesting plot. The reader follows the quest for the holy grail in four different characters. Sutcliffe jumps back and forth between the quests of Sir Percival, Sir Bors, Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot.
The time of the setting is in the medevil age. It takes place in many locations throughout the story. There are a few suspenseful twists that will keep you waiting until the end. Throughout the quest many conflicts appear between the characters and the grail.
Finally, I would recommend this book for 13+. Although it is not very long it can be confusing and hard to understand at times. This book is great for adventurous readers because of its plot and conflicts

This review is from: The Light Beyond the Forest: The Quest for the Holy Grail (Paperback)

This story is about the many exciting adventures of a few of the main knights involved in the Grail Quest. It many follows Sir Lancelot, Bors, Percival, and Galahad. The stories tell of their journeys through unfamiliar lands, saving damsels in distress, and over all trying to find the Holy Grail the one thing all the knights' desire, but only one knight can recover it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Although at times I was confused do to the ever-changing characters and story lines. Things I really liked about this book were the excitement in the adventures and the wonderful characters. I would most definitely recommend this book to all young adult readers who enjoy a great suspenseful tale.
