Stephen Kruse’s exhilarating young adult book, Squires of Rainecourt, chronicles the adventures of a young warrior who becomes one of the Prince’s men in an attempt to be knighted. Young and curious, Henry Fairfax joins the team with excitement. However, unlike the rest of the men, his father was once a poor fisherman who became a noble through his brave acts. Henry’s humble heritage is frowned upon by the Prince and the other men. Still, Henry is ready to prove himself and the team will soon learn to appreciate his bravery. As soon as their quest starts, the danger and obstacles they are to face start to appear. They will be wounded, visit faraway kingdoms, fight with mythical creatures and encounter black magic, and sometimes they will question the logic behind their pursuit.
Squires of Rainecourt by Stephen Kruse features expertly created characters who make the plot enthralling. Henry is not the typical heroic and legendary character I would have imagined. At first, he is disregarded and not considered an important member of the Prince’s men. His youthfulness and background do little to convince the men that he is brave enough for such a crucial conquest. The supporting characters also possess different traits that make them believable as well. The plot does not run out of action as the men face challenges at every turn. The story has many surprises along the way, which makes it thrilling. The pace is also suitable as it moves forward steadily. Squires of Rainecourt is an amazing story that is a must-read for any lover of fantasy and adventure.
