Plot summary

Blood Red Horse follows Will and Ellie, two young teens growing up during the time of the Crusades. Ellie has feelings for Will, yet has been promised in marriage to Will's brother Gavin. When King Richard announces that he will launch a Crusade, both Will and Gavin are sent off to fight. Will chooses the scrawny Hosanna to ride into battle, drawn in by the horse's allure. Along with his horse, Gavin doesn't want Will to find a way to survive the battle and return home.

Reception

Critical reception for the book has been mostly positive,[6][7] with the School Library Journal praising the audiobook's narration.[8] The Guardian cited the factual detail in the battle scenes as a highlight, calling the overall book "soundly researched" and "well-structured".[9] Kirkus Reviews gave a negative review, criticizing Blood Red Horse as "overblown and under-plotted".[10]
