[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as interesting as the first book. If I were interested in midsummer celebrations it covers a decent amount about that but overall it wasn't a very interesting story. It also didn't have any interaction with the falcons, just a journey to get medicine for one. I enjoyed the illustrations and glossary.

Maybe I was too hard on this book.I read this without reading the first 2 because my state's library system didn't have the other ones. It was a nice book . Maybe I will get the first two online

I probably learned the most about this time period from this book than I did in any of the others of the series.
