Column Epithetical Books The Seeing Stone (Arthur Trilogy #1)

An engrossing tale - part myth, part social history - meticulously researched and engagingly written, 'Arthur: The Seeing Stone' is perfect escapism for anyone interested in medieval life and the Arthurian legend. I've been wanting to read this trilogy for a while and it doesn't disappoint.

So excited to finally remember the name of this book - this series was my obsession in 7th grade and I stayed up way to late at night reading these. Thank you to the awesome teen who reminded me about it!

I can't express how much I loved this trilogy. It tells two stories - one about a young boy named Arthur, son of a lord during the medieval period. The second is the story of King Arthur, told through a magic seeing stone.Personally, the King Arthur bits felt a bit pointless and I didn't enjoy reading them. The real interest really is going back into a well researched time and world and becoming a part of young Arthur's family and life.The thing I love about books is their ability to take you

Merlin is a very wise person, and this book is worth reading just for a bit of his insight. He gets in conversations with some interesting people, like a priest who seems not to follow his own religion, and other people who were strangely foolish in the olden days. I wish there were more books about Merlin's life, perhaps he kept to himself too much for anyone to get enough information on him for a satisfying amount of appearances in a story. That's a pity; he is the only interesting character.

Loved the concept, hated the style. Probably the most interesting bits to me were the details of English medieval life - the guisers on Hallowe'en, the manor court, the Christmas celebration, the remedies for illness and injury. Arthur himself was not particularly engaging, and the parallel stories ought to have appealed to me but didn't. As Arthuriana it falls far short, and as a YA story about a medieval boy it moves too slowly. Not inclined to pick up the rest of the trilogy.



Read this one on the train to New York and back. It's Ok. My knowledge of the Legend of King Arthur was rusty since watching Disney's The Sword in the Stone about 30 years ago. The chapters are very short and there is a lot of unnecessary dialogue, not to mention I could tell where the story was going 300 pages from the end. There were still scenes that left images in my mind, and that's what a good author does, after all. I might read the second and third books in the trilogy. But for my my
