What an exciting trip through a reimagined King Arthur world, with dragons and faith mixed into the fantasy magic. This is my first Bryan Davis book but I am now hooked and need to know where this trip is headed! I enjoyed how the book seamlessly put faith into the everyday lives of the characters. The setting made a great backdrop for the story to unfold on. It was so easy to see the forest and the caves laying before me as I moved through the book.
The plot pulled me in and kept me interested and the pages flipping. I wanted to keep learning more about this fantastical world and what would happen to 2 spunky and courageous children. The situations they face throughout the book kept everything interesting and engaging.
This book is a great fit for children around 8-12, as long as they can handle some times of higher emotion and loss of family.
Bryan Davis does a masterful job of creating a new twist on an older fantasy tale that will keep readers entertained and engaged. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great fantasy story with faith flowing through all aspects of the book. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Good story for kids! Interesting premise for a story-you'll have to find out about the scales when you read the book. :) Set in and around Camelot with humans, dragons, Merlin, King Arthur, and evil women as the book's characters, it's bound to be interesting! I don't love the way the author makes King Arthur look kind of like an idiot, but other than that, it's good.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

While Bryan Davis has been on my radar for awhile, this middle grade fantasy is the first of his books that I've read. The plot kept my interest, but I struggled with how he tried to link the King Arthur legends and the early days of the world in Genesis. I also found myself cringing whenever one of the characters pointed out a "faith fail." There wasn't room for nuance that let characters doubt even as they believed, something Jesus honors with the father who said, "I believe, help my unbelief."

I won't necessarily be recommending this book widely, but I do see a subset of Christian 8-12 years olds who will enjoy it.

This book was interesting and fills a need for more middle grade fantasy titles. However, I do not think it would be a particularly popular title with our patrons, so I don't think I will be purchasing it.

What a great Arthurian adventure for kids 8-12

Bryan Davis has done it again. He has woven adventure, dragons, and the power of Faith into a story that kids will enjoy and parents will be thankful for.

Hawk and Sabine are at their essence kids, which makes them both relatable and inspiring as they face the situations before them.

I can’t wait for more of the Dragons of Camelot series.

I couldn't finish it. Didn't quite make it halfway. I think the idea sounds interesting but was not impressed with the writing. Not one i'd recommend.

What an exciting ride! Even though I don’t usually read fantasy besides Narnia and LOTR, I couldn’t resist this book because of its fascinating premise and gorgeous cover. How could I pass up a wholesome fantasy in Camelot? I enjoyed this story’s setting, interesting plot, and likable characters.

This is definitely best for middle school grade kids or older - not just because of some advanced vocabulary, but because of the discernment and maturity needed. There are some very dark moments in the book (e.g., someone is burned alive; a witch threatens to skin someone alive). There is also a mix of dragons and Arthurian legend with Biblical stories that may confuse younger children. Christian parents may wish to have clarifying conversations with their kids around some aspects of the story.

Even though this wasn’t quite a five-star read for me due to a few small inconsistencies and a few places where the writing didn’t feel as strong, it’s still a great read. I could see myself reading this to my kids when they’re older, and perhaps this will be a new hit in Christian fantasy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers for the free eARC. I post this receive with my honest opinions. This review will be cross-posted to Amazon, Goodreads, and Instagram by the time of the book’s publication.
