Another nice review of Song of the Sword
This one popped up at Just Deb, and is part of a regular feature she calls Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays:
This is the first book in the Shards of Excalibur series. And it’s going to be a good one-series I mean. Loved the first and how Arthurian legend was woven into a troubled teens life. A character who drove the story, which is always a favorite for me. I liked her a lot–especially in once scene where the bad guy (er, girl) gets a taste of–well, I shall say no more. This is also a favourite of one of my book club kids. He’s twelve and a voracious reader who loves 39 Clues, Rangers Apprentice, Percy Jackson. The sad bit about lending him the ARC (thanks to Lobster Press!) is he read the book good and early. He’s anxious to (read) the second.
Nice!
