"Oric and the Lockton Castle Mystery" is Book 2 in a trilogy about the adventures of Oric. Young readers, for whom the book is intended, will no doubt be intrigued by the pacing and adventurous aspects of this novel. I really appreciated the inclusion of a summary (prologue) of the action up to the point when the story begins, since I had not read the first novel in the series. This prologue leads the reader right into the action when Book 2 takes up. The descriptions of competitions and tourneys, as well as fairs and battles, will draw in young readers. I think it will be especially appealing to boys, who are notoriously difficult to interest in reading.

I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

This is an amazing book for making new friends, good and bad, from of medieval times. I did not read many fantasy books but I can see that it was worth the try. Must continue the series with the other books.
Thanks to Netgalley for this new adventure.
