"The Return of the Knights" is an enchanting journey that effortlessly weaves together a captivating narrative and intricate worldbuilding. Kontaxis' characters feel refreshingly real, and the plot twists kept me eagerly turning pages. The balance between familiarity and unpredictability is masterfully struck, making it a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts. I'm eagerly anticipating more from this author. Thanks for the great review!

I love it when book especially fantasy books have maps in them. And since the storyline seems complex, the provided list of characters will certainly be helpful. I do wish the villain was more interesting and with an actual agenda.

Thank you for the great review. I find a few things of intrigue that draw me to this book. I like the portrayal of the hero-protagonist, Elliot, as young and skilled, but lacking in humility and intelligence. The antagonist, Walter, is portrayed as cunning, determined, and disgusting. The fact that Walter has almost seized the crown in Knightdorn shows that he is strong and capable of defeating his adversaries. I would like to read and see how these two characters vie for the crown, as their conflict adds intrigue in this book.

The review paints a picture of "The Return of the Knights" as a well-crafted fantasy novel that excels in worldbuilding, character development, and storytelling techniques. These elements work together to create a compelling and immersive reading experience for fans of the genre. the review mentions the presence of a "wise old person" archetype, which serves to provide exposition and guidance to the protagonist and the reader. While this trope can sometimes feel cliché, it appears that the author utilizes it effectively to prevent the narrative from becoming overly complex or convoluted.

I like the classic good vs evil and hero vs villain plot especially in the setting of the book. I am curious to see how the author makes this story his own and brings a unique tale to the readers. The cover page is very colorful and catchy too.

An unpredictable story is a remarkable, gripping story, and the fact that this one achieves this by including twists and turns makes it sound enthralling. I am adding the book to my want-to-read shelf and look forward to seeing how the main conflict will play out. The good thing is that Elliot is there to help Knightdorn from Walter's domination. Many thanks for the review.
