I love reading a great story.
And Chuck Black has created a great story.
Sir Rowan And The Camerian Conquest is the fifth book in Black’s Knights Of Arrethtrae series. I really enjoyed the book, and I know my son will love it when he is a few years older. I felt like the book was geared towards older youth, especially boys.
This is the fifth book, and I haven’t read the first four books, but I felt like the story stood on it’s own. I’m sure that reading the previous books will fill in some gaps; but those gaps aren’t really too noticeable.
Sir Rowan’s story is one that many people experience. His character flaw in the story is his pride. Throughout the story, Black does a great job of showing how the King can use anyone, but only after they realize that His strength is what will carry them through.
As I read Sir Rowan’s story, I couldn’t help but see parallels in my own life, when pride reared it’s ugly head and caused me to miss out on what God wanted to do.
I really enjoyed reading Sir Rowan And The Camerian Conquest. I can’t wait until my son is old enough to want to read this series. Until then, I’ll just have to read the rest on my own.
