《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Crimson Knight' by OncerQueen16
Advertisement
Crimson Knight is the story of Niccolo Malaster (not Machiavelli, must remember), the prince of the kingdom of Malrin. When evil Lord Trydel seizes the throne, Niccolo flees and turns to a life of thievery, all the while seeking vengeance.
I like this story. It uses tropes I've seen before, but I don't count tropes as clichés. I think this is an interesting book and I also believe I haven't even seen everything it has to offer. Yeah, I see potential here.
The characters are well-written and interesting. Their personalities appear to be well-developed. What I did notice, however, was that the majority of villains (Master of Thieves, King Trydel, Lord Soran) all have dark/black eyes. Was this subconsciously done? If not, I'd recommend another eye colour for future new villains. They don't necessarily need black/dark eyes to be evil.
The GPS is good, with the occasional missed typo. Maybe go over the latest chapters, but most of them are relatively error-free.
Another thing I like about this book, is diversity. Both Niccolo and Shara are POC, which I don't often see in fantasy. Kudos!
Rating: 8.5!

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.
