Tristan is back. He, along with Robard and Maryam, needs to get the grail to a safe place, but Sir Hugh is hot on his trail and killing as many of Tristan's cohorts as possible. To make matters worse, Tristan has angered Eleanor of Aquitaine, who tells him he will never take the throne, which gives him a pretty good idea of the secret that everyone has been hiding from him. Even when all of the obstacles are overcome, the grail is safe and things are quiet, I think that this may continue, becaus More...

This is the final book in The Youngest Templar series. All three books are action-packed so a good choice for boys looking for battles and sword play. Tristan is not a modern-day hero; Spradlin has created a character true to his times. There is also a satisfying mystery surrounding his parentage; my guess was off (although, forgive me, Mr. Spradlin, I think it would have been a better choice). Tristan's friends, Maryam and, in particular, Robard are well-rounded characters. In historical fictio More...

Even though this is the third book in the series, I had no trouble keeping track of everything and never felt lost. While I enjoy watching series characters grow and joining them on their adventures, I'm impressed when an author is able to have a series book stand on it's own. I've lost track of how many times I've picked up a book and had no idea what was going on because I didn't know that it was part of a series.

The main character is Tristan, a squire who's on a quest for his lor More...

This is the final part of the Michael Spradlin's trilogy about the Knights Templar and the quest of young Tristan to save the Holy Grail (the real one!) This installment picks up exactly where the second ended, with Marian about to be hung. It's a great beginning that gets your blood pumping. There are some slow spots (like the VERY long section where everyone goes back to Robard's hometown and has to confront an evil Sherrif. Of course, they do it in A-Team style, which was cute, but could More...

Will the last book in the Youngest Templar series see the holy grail safely to Roslin? Or will evil Sir Hugh finally get his grubby hands on it?

It's worth reading to the finish. My daughter and I both enjoyed the entire series.

A very solid ending to the series. And I also learned where the word sheriff comes from. :) Added bonus.

The action picks up right where The Youngest Templar: Trail of Fate leaves off. Tristan, Robard, and Maryam are traveling to England and then Scotland to return the Holy Grail to a safe place. This book introduces a host of familiar Robin Hood characters, and finds the trio traveling to Robard's home in Sherwood forest. Full of action and adventure the final chapter in Tristan's quest does not disappoint. More...

I really liked it. Lots of great action.




Is it perfect? No. I got tired of the way Robard and Maryam always look to Tristan to answer any question. And the pacing doesn't seen quite even (the resolution seems very quick compared to the rest of the series).


But I would totally still recommend this book/series to any fan of adventure or fantasy. It's the grand hero cycle.

Excellent end to the series. Loved the twists on the Robin Hood tale.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than the second. I finally figured out the whole Robin Hood thing, I read a review saying that about the first book and I was like 'What?!' Now, I get it! Enjoyable, but for me the end was not completely satisfying. Still, it's hard to stop reading Spradlin's novels.

This was a satisfying final book in the trilogy although I'm sad to see it end. I loved the story and the characters, and the slight tweaking of the Robin Hood legend as well as Tristan's story.
