Who doesnt like the sound of that? A month or so ago, I found this book waiting to be reviewed on NetGalley, and my heart leapt! Thanks to Pushkin Press and NetGalley, I got a copy, and I finished reading it yesterday.

As expected, I was not disappointed.The Letter Tor The King starts with Tiuri keeping vigil. This is the last task that he has to do before he becomes a knight.

My knowledge of the Dutch language might have become crippled, and my eyes feast on the pages of other fantasy masterpieces, but Tonke Dragt and
2 stars, It is okayCalm read. The main character goes from point A, to point B to...and thus it goes. I wasn't too invested in the story since the way it went, I was sure everything was going to be dandy.
On the eve of being knighted by his king, sixteen-year-old Tiuri, son of Tiuri the Valiant, is keeping vigil in a small chapel outside of the capital city of the kingdom of Dagonaut. Forbidden from speaking, or opening the chapel doors to anyone during his night-long fast, Tiuri does both when a mysterious old man comes begging for help. A knight in spirit, even if he is not one in fact, Tiuri is helpless to resist this supplicant in need, and soon finds himself caught up in an epic adventure
