Ayan's Book Review
Guinevere: At the Dawn of Legend

-by Cheryl Carpinello

This is the second book of the Guinevere series, and I think this book is as riveting as the first, if not more.

In 'At the Dawn of Legend', King Arthur has been battling incessant rogues who keep plundering and ravaging England. While he is away, Guinevere and Cedwyn go to the Enchanted Stones to learn when the fight will end.

But even the Goddess of the Stones does not know who will come back alive; however, she does know that Guinevere and Cedwyn are in grave danger. And they are. For when they return to the castle, they find that the rogues attacked it! As Guinevere, the outlaws’ target, was absent at the time of the attack, they kidnapped the other children. So Guinevere and Cedwyn embark on a quest to save them. Their lives will never be the same.

Will Guinevere and Cedwyn be able to save the children? Or will they themselves get kidnapped too? Read this compelling Arthurian tale to find out.

The themes in this book include friendship, trust, and courage. These themes make this book unique, as I think the author has done a brilliant job in binding these completely different themes together.

I recommend this book to ages 7+ as it’s very easy to read with no confusing parts. 

I give this book 5/5 stars as it’s an engaging book and will keep readers hooked till the last page. 😊
