THE KING OF THE TREES WILLIAM D BURT Terri L Lahr and Rebecca J Burt 9781579210908 Books Reviews

The King of the Trees (2nd Ed) by William D. Burt is the first of a seven book series. It is an adventure-filled fantasy with a strong Christian message that will keep you turning pages.

Rolin is a young teen who lives in a cabin in the woods with his beekeeper father. He is without a mother or friends and lives a simple, lonely life until he finds a wooden box left to him by his grandmother. As the treasures inside reveal their secrets, so is the protagonist's destiny revealed.

Rolin's journey to learn the truth of his family's past in The King of the Trees makes for a grand adventure, wrought with daring quests, mythical creatures, and even a little romance. Along the way, he discovers his destiny and the true meaning of life.

I would highly recommend this book to middle-school and teen readers who enjoy fantasies like, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Lord of the Rings.
"The King of Trees" is a fast-paced fantasy adventure that's marketed to males and females ages 8 and up. The main characters were all males, so I think it would appeal most to boys. Since the author used a fair number of infrequently-used big words, I'd suggest it for teens and up. The author also used made-up names, some of them very similar sounding. I had some trouble keeping track of who was who and what was what. Sometimes there were even two names for the same thing like griffins were called griffins, but usually they were called sorc. There's a glossary with pronunciation guide in the back to help with this.

While I could see the influence of novels like "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lord of the Rings," the story was original. It was also action-packed and exciting, and the characters were fun and likable.

There were several times that I didn't understand why Rolin acted the way he did during a critical parts of the novel. For example, Rolin was curious and wanted to explore a new world but knew it could be very dangerous. He decided to just take a peek and immediately come back. He goes to the new world, then, without any explanation as to why he changed his mind, he roamed through a creepy forest, knocked on the door to an evil-feeling building, and shouted to see if anyone was around.

Also, on a few occasions near the end, I had a "where did that come from" moment. As in, we weren't told that Rolin still had an object with him. Logically, he shouldn't still have it and, if he did, he would've been using it earlier. But then he suddenly does have it.

This story is a Christian allegory. It's somewhat subtle at first, but in the second half, the allegory was very obvious and rather heavy-handed. At the end, the plot was being driven more by the needs of the allegory than by naturally arising from the characters or their circumstances. Also, the Tree of Life (the Christ-like character) frequently spoke verses found in the Bible, especially those said by Jesus. To have a tree--which was a being created by the Father God figure (p.35)--go from playing a Christ-like allegorical role to essentially being Christ bothered me. Anyone without Biblical knowledge will probably be confused by it since some of the quotes seem to come out of nowhere. Also, Jesus isn't a created being so portraying Christ as a created tree-being who then created humans was a rather critical bit of theology to portray incorrectly.

There were a few sketchy drawings throughout the book. There was no bad language or sex. Overall, I'd recommend it as exciting, clean reading as long as none of the above are problems for you.
This YA (young adult) fantasy is patterned a little like the Chronicals of Narnia. In other words, perhaps intended for young folks but enjoyable also to adults.

You might recognize in it analogies to Bible scriptures. You might wonder how it's going to end up, if the heroes will survive all the tribulations they must endure.

The main character is Rolin Son of Gannon, a red-haired fourteen-year-old with a knack for finding the best mushrooms in the forests and getting teased by his peers who lived in the nearby town. They teased him about him and his mushrooms, about the bees his father kept, and his crazy grandmother.

Rolin finds a small wooden box his grandmother left him when she died. In it is a jewel pendant along with some dried flower petals. He puts on the pendant, and he and his father go into town to sell their honey and potatoes. Rolin has his eye on a spyglass he'd like to get, so off he goes to find the man who has them for sale. Some Greencoats catch a glimpse of his pendant and accuse him of theft.

Rolin runs into the forest to escape them. A tall Stranger leads him to a strange-looking tree. Rolin's good at climbing trees, and he clambers up what he later finds out is a torsil tree--one that transports climbers to a different place. And that is where Rolin's adventures really begin.

He meets Gemmio and Opio, Bembor and Emmer, Scanlon and Marlis. He discovers the existence of sythan-ars and griffins, and the Isle of Luralin and Waganupa (the Tree of Life). And you might decide that he also meets himself over the progress of this epic book, the beginning book of The King of the Trees Series.
I was skeptical when they said it was written in the style of the Chronicles of Narnia. The book lived up to all expectations and more!
A great choice for any Narnia or Lewis fanatic.
I have loved this book ever since I got it. It is fascinating and the author provides great descriptions for settings and characters in his book. Another great thing about it is that William D. Burt puts Christianity in his series. For any home-school mom looking for something for her kids to read, this is a great choice. If you are just looking for something to read, I recommend this book and the series.
A great read and a fun ride up this fantasy adventure. Is it to read and flowing keep you involved and wanting to know the next page. Highly recommend it
