Notice Out Of Books The Seeing Stone (Arthur Trilogy #1)

Arthur, living during the turn of the 13th century, dreams of one thing: to become a squire and, eventually, a knight. Until now, however, his father hasn't allowed himself the opportunity. Then one day an old friend named Merlin (yes, that Merlin) give him a stone he calls a seeing stone and tells him to keep it secret. Through the stone, Arthur watches the story of King Arthur unfold, and quickly draws parallels to his daily life in the struggles he has with his own brother, his family, his

Through a diary-like story, we glimpse fragments life in the Middle Ages just as Arthur himself glimpses fragments of a much earlier age through an obsidian stone. A 'fire and ice' stone, pocked with white marks, heavy with the past.It's the turn of the century - the last year of the twelfth century, 1199, is giving away to the dawn of the thirteenth. It's an age of faith, of Crusades, of feudal hierarchy. It's a time when the rule of King John is just beginning.Arthur de Caldicott lives in a

This book was quite good. At the beginning I hated it and by the end it was ok. I liked the idea of the story recreating King Arthurs legend. We get to see a lot of Arthurs life in the middle ages so the visions make it more interesting. Although there are some moments of confusion, the research done by the author to find all the information needed to recreate a middle ages life is very good.

I don't know how someone could make me dislike something I LOVE (King Arthur stories)but this author did just that. If you are interested in learning about medieval life, then you might enjoy it because it's mostly about the one family's daily life. It was a bit too much gruesome detail for me. Merlin was the most interesting character, but he only makes an appearance here and there in the first part. It may get better and we may get get more of the Arthur legend in parts 2 and 3, but I'm not

I think this book started VERY boring but it got better as I read on. It's not my favourite book in the world but it's not my least favourite either. I like how Kevin tied the visions into the story with similar events until at the end... I won't say because you might want to read the book!

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!

The story is set in medieval times, in 1199. Its a story about a young boy called Arthur, that truly wants to be knight. One day he gets a magical stone from his fathers friend called Merlin. This magical stone takes Arthur in another world, the world where King Arthur lives. Arthur founds out that his life is little bit similar with the king, what a coincidence!The story was so much fun to read. You really get to know Arthur and also his family. You get to love and hate some of them. The author
