I have decided to spotlight one book a month. A favorite from my collection, by a favorite author, or one that I have been thinking about or contemplating in new ways.
This month's feature book is by a favorite author of mine, Mercedes Lackey. One Good Knight is the second book in the Five Hundred Kingdoms series by Mercedes Lackey. The series starts with The Fairy Godmother, which is also a good book. All the books in this series take a familiar fairy tale or story and turn it inside out. One Good Knight is no exception. One Good Knight tells the story of a princess taken hostage by a fire-breathing dragon and the Knight sent to rescue her. This book partially inspired the name of this blog. I am reluctant to give away more of the story, as there are a few twists even I didn't see coming.
One Good Knight gets 4 out of 5 stars. There are some slow moving points in the story, but it is well worth the read. And although this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone book.
