Blood Red Horse by K. M. Grant

4.0

This was a good read, but took a while to get into. It's a teen book which focused on the crusades in...well, I can't remember the date and I gave the book back to my friend so I can't check. Anyway, from the middle onwards the story picked up but I wasn't really interested in the Muslim side of the story (mainly because the character on that side was all "REVENGE! I MUST KILL PEOPLE!" and quite creepy) and would have preferred to hear more about Ellie, who only appeared once after the guys set off for the Middle East. Plus, I was annoyed that the horse switched sides so easily - not cool. There are two more books and I might like to read them, but I cared more about the characters than the horse and I think the horse is still a main character in those books. Don't be put off by the horse being central to the story, the book is good despite this! 8/10
