In Red Knight by Wyatt J. Ewert, Athen Alister was an introverted young boy who loved the haven provided by his room and books. He was from the family of the Argos, and they lived in Europa on the left arm of Ithuria. Ithuria was a giant robot that was the home of the Elden, but the giant robot had been asleep for a very long time. Alister's grandfather was unhappy that he skipped his entrance exam into Europa Academy. However, his grandfather's dissatisfaction with him was the least of his concerns as Alister saw a strange figure in their home. The stranger was the same girl he had seen when he was at the Europa Academy, and it seemed she had followed him home. The girl identified herself as Zandra Zephyr — a knight. Alister knew that all the knights were gone, but if they had returned, the 'Soluteera' would also be back. Now, he has a big task on his hands.

The language of the storytelling was simple and unembellished with unnecessary words. The book opened on a fascinating note as the author introduced readers to a new world with maps and its own rules. The author's ingenious imagination and creativity were evident in the story. He succeeded in providing exciting entertainment for readers, taking familiar technological ideas and turning them into an enthralling story.

The story in Red Knight was replete with suspense and intrigue. The plot was robust and unpredictable, which guaranteed readers' rapt attention until the end of the story. The story had an epic yet modern feel to it. The entire story was mostly one long quest, delivering the exhilaration and adventure that usually came with such quests. There was plenty of action in the story. There were fight scenes and adrenaline-rousing action from the beginning until the book ended.

The book took on an even more adventurous turn with the characters. The characters were diverse, fantastical, and exciting. For one thing, the book's human characters were labeled 'Elden.' Alister, one of the first characters introduced in the book, was unique in his shy and unsure nature yet found himself thrust into loud and dangerous circumstances. Following his journey as it warred with his personality made a good read. Zandra Zephyr's character was the direct opposite of Alister. She was young but fearless and a bit reckless. Her sometimes irritating sunny personality brought some humor and lightness to the story. Fantasy readers would find other fantastical characters interesting, like the tall, scaly, green, six-fingered creatures called 'Ghbalis.'

An exciting aspect of this book was the brief introductory history that came with each chapter. It would give readers background information on the new world the author created. These brief histories made the story real and believable.

Red Knight was professionally edited. It was a good blend of science and magic. I loved every part of this book and was thoroughly entertained by it. This book would be most appreciated by sci-fi and fantasy lovers. I'd rate it five out of five stars because there was nothing I disliked.

This is quite an entertaining review. I love the fact that the review has a paragraph for every aspect of the book. This makes it easy to understand the book especially when it is a fantasy. The book seems to have everything so definitely will give a read.

Zandra's character sounds exciting in this book. I like her personality and I wish I can follow her journey in this book. Your review, Sam, is awesome!
