Rowan is a kind-hearted person who would do anything for his friends and family. He and his friends wish to become knights and serve their country, Remus. Although it does not go as they hoped for. This is his story and his life through his own eyes.
I love this story so much. I love the world that they live in and how it changes throughout the story. I love the characters so much, The newest chapters broke my heart and I cried a little. I feel so bad for Rowan, and I already hate Roman!
This is a great intro to a great story. It is really early to be writing a review, but I just want to say that I can't wait for more to be released. I'm loving it right now.
I love the characters and their personalities! The world building is great and I can't wait to see more of this story.
Great story so far. The characters are very interesting and unique. Love how they interact with each other. The world building is very easy to understand, which I like. There aren't any confusing plot lines either.
I'm amazed by how good this has been so far. The first two arcs are amazing and there's lots of character building. I'm super excited to see this new arc and already it is a whole lot different than the others. The atmosphere completely changed, and I love it!
Holy! Dam this story is amazing. It has good pacing and I wasn't tired of reading it, I actually couldn't stop reading it lol. It just pulled me in and I'm looking forward to the rest of it!
Great. Everything about this story is great. The characters, the plot, the world, all of it is so nice. It's a great read and I can't wait to see more develop.
OMG! What even happened! I was reading with watery eyes! This story took a completely new direction and its sweet! Since this is through Rowan's POV, Ik we won't get to see the other stuff happening so I hope another book comes out where its a bigger picture type thing. I can't wait for Rowan vs Roman!
Writing this after reading the entire story. This was/is an amazing story. I love the beginning with them all at camp. The whole training arc was great. The world building is awesom too. The whole Kelmarsh was great, really had me at some points. I wish we saw more of Athena, Nate, and Tyler. They were an interesting group and I feel like more time could’ve been spent on them, but it makes sense that there wasn’t because it was in first person. The last arc was crazy. It was so sad and I felt bad for the poor citizens who got dragged into it. Roman Salazar was a great villain and I actually felt bad for him but at the same time he had what was coming. I’m hoping there is going to be a second book, the epilogue kind of sets it up. 10/10 would definitely recommend
I'm super happy I found this. I was just randomly searching for a story to read and... wow. This is one of the best short stories I have ever read. It has a little romance, some violence, and some humor. What else do you need?
I absolutely love this story. Love Rowan sooooo much and I feel so sorry for him. Wish I could give him a hug too! I love all, well most, of the characters.
Thought I'd write after reading the full book to do an actual review. Starting off with the intro. It was a great way to do simple world building and introduce the main characters. I liked how there was a moment with the brother in it too, it just adds some character to it. In the beginning, before the siege, I thought it was going to be a happy story (I have read MKF so I knew I was going to be wrong) but it had a fast and dark turn that I actually liked a lot. It definitely was better than some silly happy ending (I don't like how most stories these days are about fun times and the hero always winning etc, even though the heroes did win). The arc when all six of them were training set a happy tone and a friendly environment. I loved the interactions between the characters. The only strange part was with Kent and the book, which was referenced in MKF with Lavernius. When I first saw this I thought that he was telling this tale at first, I was like "Oh that's cool", but it could also just be a little easter egg. It also gave them 'powers' which was kinda cool, so it's like it is connected but also isn't. The shift in the story doesn't begin until Rowan is at Fort Zeke. I absolutely loved his time there. His bunk mates and the other captains were amazing. Loved Tyler, Athena, and Nate. Really wish we got more interactions between them. The Black Company was a cool and interesting way to have Rowan bond with Athena. I loved Jack I thought he was a cool villain, obviously not fully developed and just for an arc. All we knew was that he was hired from another nation. The final arc, where the invasion happens, was super intense. Those chapters were super depressing and amazing. The back story of Roman Salazar was surprisingly sad. I felt bad about the whole thing but I also hate him for what he did. Doing a first person point of view is great, but there is also the loss of many things too. If it was a third point, I feel like it would have been longer and had a lot of more things. Regardless it was an amazing story and I loved reading it. It is worth a read for sure.
Amazing, I love every part of this story. I see that the rest of it is going to be dark and sad, but honestly I love when stories take a turn like that.
I love this so much. Probably one of my favorites from Nexus tbh. I have high hopes for the future chapters!
