Book One in The Youngest Templar series.
Plot: a teenage boy living in a abbey becomes a knight named Sir Thomas's squire and rides off to war. He keeps hearing hints about who he really is, but the few who know the secret will not tell him anything. He immediately makes an enemy of the scheming Sir Hugh who knows the secret and resents the boy. The boy is entrusted with a treasure both dangerous and priceless, and Sir Hugh would give anything to have it.
Comments: A pretty good book, good for something relatively lighthearted. I'm getting extremely tired of Crusader books, but this book focuses not on the war but on the people, and I like that. This book is confusing because of the names of people and places, and also because of words no longer used, the meaning of which I don't know. This book was good at portraying the setting and time of the story.
Some characters are well-rounded, and other's aren't. Most of the main characters are easy to imagine. The plot for this story was good, and I like how though it's about Crusaders and Templars it doesn't focus just on the war. The twists and plot lines in this novel were creative and original.
Rating: I give this book a six and a half out of ten.
