Gregory Kontaxis's The Return of the Knights is a gripping account of the protracted conflict that raged in Knightdorn for years. I adore the antagonist's character in this tale. You might as well go all out and be exceedingly bad if you're going to be bad. Walter is a cruel, no-second-chance villain who makes others feel afraid and disgusted. He is incredibly shrewd and driven. The author's work deserves congratulations for being BOTD.

This is a great review of The Return of the Knights. The quick blurb about it on Amazon made it seem like a run-of-the-mill good versus evil medical tale. This detailed review gave a much better perspective on the story, the way it is narrated to help the reader learn about the backstory and world they are reading about. I was still skeptical it would be a typical story but the reviewer mentioned that the story would deviate from the normal tropes to keep you intrigued and guessing what would happen next. I will definitely give this book a chance based on this review.

The book "The Return of the Knights" is set in a war torn land. In this epic adventure readers can look to a world far from reality. Not to mention the appeal the book cover provides. A thoroughly enthralling read.

Congratulations to the author.
Thank you for an informative review.
This book sounds interesting.
Elliot's skills and characteristics sound promising in terms of changing the dimming fate of Knightdorn.
The incorporation of maps into the book , serving as a tool for the readers navigation through this adventure is a bonus!

A historical epic fantasy in the book "The Return of the Knights" by Gregory Kontaxis, which follows Elliot, who had an uncommon skill but was arrogant and ignorant of many things.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Wonderful review! Right off the back, I’ll say that the illustrations and cover art immediately caught my attention. I love how boldly everything stands out about them. As for the book itself, the reviewer did such an excellent job laying out everything great about it (and so persuasively, to boot), I feel there isn’t much for me to say that wouldn’t feel redundant. However, I will point this out:
I became a spectator rather than a person being narrated to.
There are constant surprises, and one can never accurately assume the next thing to happen. When things seem to be going in one direction, something unexpected occurs that turns things in another direction. The suspense factor makes the book difficult to put down. There is no abrupt cliffhanger, but the author generates so much fascination and intrigue that anybody who reads this book will want to see how the story plays out.
If these aren’t signs of prime storytelling, I don’t know what are!

I recall only one book in my experience that uses a list of characters to aid the future reader. To my mind, it is pretty important in such genre. Despite the fact that it isn’t my favourite genre, I read this review with pleasure. I love the way reviewer highlights every detail; it is a rare thing to see such dedication! Congratulations with the BOTD to the author and review!

Like the title suggests, this book is a fantasy novel which makes us forget reality and enjoy the world building in fiction. The author did a possibility good job at that with this book. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

The complexity of characters such as Elliot and the antagonist Walter adds depth to the narrative. It's intriguing how the author balances traditional fantasy tropes with unexpected turns, keeping readers on their toes. The mention of a 'wise old person' guiding the plot hints at well-executed storytelling that avoids over-complication, a common pitfall in fantasy literature.
