Welcome to my spot on the Sir Morien: The Legend of a Knight of the Round Table by Holly Black and Kaliis Smith Book Tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. 

About the Book

Full of humor, drama, and adventure, this retelling of a little-known figure of Arthurian Legend, co-written by friends Kaliis Smith and #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, is perfect for any knight in training. 

Prince Morien was brave and clever and true…

The brave North African knight Morien is on a quest to find his father, who had set off on an adventure of his own and never returned. But every knight he meets wants to fight! At first, Morien is determined to best them all, until he meets some knights willing to quest with him. Together, they discover not only the importance of friendship but also Morien’s long-lost father!

Review for Sir Morien

Who knew? I love children’s books where I learn as much as the child. I’ve only heard of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot so it was interesting to learn more about the rest of the group.

How Morien, Gawain, and Lancelot became fast friends was evident in the humorous banter. The authors nailed the “manly” and aggressive dialogue with a comical aspect. I could easily see young men teasing each other like this! The illustrations are vivid and entertaining, they certainly showcase the story and help bring it to life. Bravery, friendship, family, and teamwork are among the morals depicted in the story. We enjoyed this educational yet delightful story, and would recommend it to kids and adults alike.
