Ich hatte das Buch vor vielen Jahren zuletzt in der Hand und es war auch beim zweiten Lesen noch genauso spannend, wie ich es in Erinnerung hatte! Ich konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass Tiuri so aufrichtig und ehrlich ist, ohne dass es ins Lächerliche abgleiten würde.

Een leuk avonturen verhaal. Hier en daar een beetje traag en langdradig, maar voor de jeugd denk ik wel echt een spannend boek.

What a great book! I loved Tiuri. So many great characters. It is a big chunk for a children's book, but it's a fast and engaging read. If you missed this as a kid, I recommend picking it up now

Such an engaging and entertaining adventure. It does lag at times, and some of the themes are a little simplistic but I like how many of the characters are written and the language is so poetic. Towards the end, the villain does end in a very scooby-do-esque way, which was not the greatest and could’ve been handled better, but on the whole, the journey truly was the reward.

Dit boek was een van mijn lievelingsboeken van mijn jeugd. Mijn moeder las het vaak voor voor bedtijd en ik kan me nog herrineren hoe ik helemaal wegdroomde in die bijzondere wereld van Tiuri, in de rijken van Unauwen en Dagonaut. Ik heb het later nog zelf gelezen en ook de film gezien. Maar het allermooiste aan dit boek vond ik toch de wonder die het gaf aan dat kleine kind op d'r kamer.

This is the first book I've ever read about knights that didn't include King Arthur, and I absolutely ADORED it. I've been obsessed with the retellings of the daring quests of the knights of King Arthur's round table, and this captivating adventure takes the crown.
On the night before he is to be knighted, Tiuri, our unlikely young hero, is entrusted with the huge task of delivering a very secret and important message to King Unauwen.
It is Tiuri's very first quest, he's being pursued by enemy knights who want him dead, who seek to destroy the letter he carries, and Tiuri's dangerously unprepared and unarmed. With spies, bandits, trained assassins after him, it really is a journey fraught with perils.
Tiuri is incredibly compassionate, intelligent, and a very good judge of character, which saves him on more than one occasion, but he can also be endearingly oblivious, especially when people think highly of him. He goes through a LOT, and at the end of his journey I was delighted and relieved that he was not burdened, bitter or arrogant from his quest.
When I got to the last page, I was crushed at the thought that this magical book was over, but then I saw that there's a sequel and I LOST MY SHIT.
