The Quest for the Sun Sword by Belinda Murrell is the first book in the The Sun Sword Trilogy and I found it to be a wonderful book!
The Quest for the Sun Sword enthralled me because of the way the childrens’ lives became entangled together, all because of the same thing – the theft of the Sun Sword. The Sun Sword belonged to the King of Tiregian… that is until he was murdered and it was stolen from him! Princess Roana was the only member of the royal procession to escape and she, together with Ethan, Lilly and Saxon embarked on a mission to retrieve the Sun Sword from its wielder.
Ethan and Lily are the Children of The Royal Master of Horse, who was also, unfortunately in the Royal Procession. Saxon is Ethan’s Best Friend and is determined to help them find the Sun Sword, no matter what his parents say.
Throughout The Quest for the Sun Sword, the four young friends must solve riddles and puzzles. They have bravery, courage and determination – all they need.
It is their bravery, courage and determination that kept me immersed in the book, because, even though Roana, Lily, Saxon and Ethan are probably all younger than me, I could never do as well as they did, put in that situation.
I recommend this book to readers 10 years and older, as some sections of the book involve fighting, blood and death.
I give The Quest for the Sun Sword 10/10 stars
