Sir Quinlan and the Swords of Valor is a tale of a man who is given the opportunity to pursue a life of adventure and fuffilment serving the Prince. However after tragedy strikes and he is the one to blame, he goes back to his normal life trying to not think of his past, but is haunted by it. He then is given a chance to redeem himself, to face his past, and to save the Kingdom or Arrethtrae. However, if he is to fail, he will lose everything, including his life and the Kingdom will be overrun by the Dark Knight.
I found this book to be very encouraging because this book is very alligorical, yet also is very much like our culture. Quinlan, the main figure has the choice of either choosing the comfortable easier life, with few difficulties, or a life with many hardships, yet he could say whether he succeeded or not, that he tried and gave it everything he had. After we are faced with trials or difficulties, we need to get back up and keep going. We cannot let our failures and self-pity keep us down, but use them to learn and to become even stronger. Our lives are not our own, but God’s and we need to use our lives to honor and glorify Him and to look to Him in our success and in our failures. At the end of our lives God is going to ask how we used our lives and we will have to give Him an answer. We will either tell Him that we wasted our life on the comfortable path, or that we chose a higher more difficult path, full of trials, but ultimately more fulffiling. Overall great book!
