At the Crossing Places by Kevin Crossley-Holland
4.0
An excellent second part of this series. If you like fiction books about Medieval Europe, the Arthurian legends, or just a good narrative, you should definitely try this series.
It blends together the very well-researched history of the 13th/14th centuries, Arthurian legends, and tenderly written dialogue to form a very enjoyable whole. I would say this book felt a lot like the first one, but it had more of the Arthurian stories, and less of Merlin. There is still the question of how much the character of Arthur in the main story will end up paralleling what happens to the Arthur in the stone.
At the end of this one, Arthur is about to go on crusade as a squire, so I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series for sure.
