“The greatest honor a man can experience is dying to himself and living for a greater cause.”
So so good. This second book in the Knights of Brethren series shifts focus to the Grand Marshal of the Knights Ansgar and the hidden Princess Lis who is next in line to the throne of Norvegia. Their mutual respect and fantastic banter make them a delightful couple. Ansgar’s unyielding honor, steadfast devotion and loyalty, even in the face of betrayal, make him a swoony hero. Lis’ fierce independence, intelligence, bravery and loyalty, even when faced with impossible odds, make her a worthy heroine. We do get glimpses of Maxim and Elinor from the first book, which is a lot of fun.
The Sword of Magi returns to center stage in this book and this theme has a satisfying conclusion but another search for a completely different relic starts at the end of the book. Filled with action, suspense, plot twists, lovely characters, and a hefty dose of faith, this medieval YA romance is sure to please every romance loving heart.
I received the book via publisher and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are solely my own.
