The war at Knightdorn is coming to an end, with Walter almost on the verge of victory. The protagonist, Elliot, comes to Knightdorn's rescue. He is a flawed character. There’s too much at stake. Will good win over evil? Even though the theme is common, the author creates a suspenseful story. The vivid descriptions and pictures of maps help readers visualize easily. These are some points highlighted in your review that caught my interest. That was a wonderful review.

The Return of the Knights by Gregory Kontaxis is a compelling narrative of the protracted conflict that raged in Knightdorn for years. I love the character of this story's antagonist. If you're going to be bad, you might as well be very, very horrible. Walter is a vicious, no-chance criminal who instills fear and disgust in all around him. He is highly intelligent and motivated. Congratulations are in order for the author's work.

I like that the protagonist Elliot is imperfect and has room to grow, as opposed to being the typical heroic savior type. Your analysis of the clever twists that keep readers guessing piqued my interest.

The cover of this book is stunning. A mix of characters to balance the story, such as the wise man advising a younger and more rebellious man, will keep readers hooked. Thanks for the review!

This is a beautifully written review of a beautifully written book. I sampled a few pages, and although this isn't my kind of novel, it appears to be very well crafted. I particularly liked the colorful maps featured at the beginning of the book - I'm a big sucker for maps in books. Congrats to Mr. Kontaxis on his achievement.

Love New world building types of books. And going by your review, the author has provided us enough information about this fantasy world. A flawed protagonist is my favorite kind of protagonist😀. I like to see real characters, with strengths and weaknesses. You have definitely made me interested in this book and I'm happy to have downloaded the free copy!! This might even be my next book to review! Thanks for this wonderful review!

Sci-Fi/Fantasy was never my cup of tea, but reading the review made it clear that my kid is going to love it. I try to instill good taste in literature, and fortunately she's still at the age that allows me to influence her choices)) with this book I believe we both get what we need: she - adventure, me - quality writing. Congrats with BOTD!
