REVIEW

What I Liked:Jeff Wheeler is my go to author for clean epic fantasy. I had Knight's Ransom playing in the car as I was running my kids to their various activities and they enjoyed it as much as I did. I like how some of the inspiration for plot events comes from real historical references.

What I Didn't Like:Even Claire makes fun of it, but at times Ransom seemed so dense it was frustrating.

Overall:If you're a fan of historical fantasy and Arthurian legends, Knight's Ransom should be added to your tbr.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
