| Sword of Light by Katherine Roberts |
Sword of Light is about King Arthur’s daughter, Rhianna Pendragon. She grew up in Avalon with the Avalonians who have magic. She thinks she is just a normal girl from the world of men. But when Merlin, a half druid-half man, comes with a dead King Arthur, he tells Rhianna something and her life changes for good. Now she must fight Mordred (her cousin) and control the sword of light all with the help of Elphin and the knights of Camelot. Will she be able to return Arthur’s soul?
I really thought this book was going to be boring because other
books about the Arthurian legend I’ve read (not many) are dull. But, I enjoy
the TV programme, Merlin. But when I started to read Sword of Light, I couldn’t
put it down.
When we got the book, I thought that I would struggle to
read it because I thought the text size would be too small but when I opened
the book the text was quite big. That was brilliant.
Hooking, adventurous, magical - that is exactly what this book is.
Anyone who likes adventure, magic and novels to do with the Arthurian legend
might enjoy this.
Sword of Light is the first book in the Pengradon Legacy
series. When I finished it, I went straight to the second book in the series,
Lance of Truth.
