Review:

This book was interesting (to say the least). I had trouble taking any of the characters seriously because of how random it is that the knight is green. That’s so weird, right? I also feel like the ending to the story was really unsatisfying. It felt like he ended up going on the quest for no reason. But I can also see the point that he is a knight, and one of the worst things for a knight to have is a scar. I do wish it was in a more noticeable place, though. It feels like it should have been on his face, so he will never live a day without the scar. To be honest, this wasn’t my favorite book, but I do appreciate how it gives a lot of insight into the time period in a more bite-sized way.
