Review
This is the first in the series. In Camelot there are the Two-leggers and the creatures that live in the castle and nearby. The author's descriptions of the surroundings, characters, and what takes place are incredibly vivid. The characters are engaging and their roles are not gender specific. Young male and female mice train to be knights. The second-in-command is a female mouse. The story moves quickly after tragedy strikes on the night of the Harvest Tournament. Readers will enjoy the familiar aspects of the Camelot legend and the imaginative addition of the creatures, though readers do not need to be acquainted with it to appreciate this entertaining and adventurous tale.
Overall Book Score: very good
