Description Concering Books One Good Knight (Five Hundred Kingdoms #2)

When a dragon storms the castle, what should a (virgin) princess do? Why, turn to her studies, of course! But nothing practical-minded Princess Andromeda of Acadia finds gives a definitive solution. The only Traditional answer, though, is soothing the marauding dragon by a virgin sacrifice. Things are going fairly smoothly with the lottery--except for the women chosen, of course--until Princess Andromeda herself is picked! But facing down the dragon doesn't go quite as planned, and now, with the help of her Champion, Sir George, Andromeda searches for the dragon's lair. But even--especially--in the Five Hundred Kingdoms, bucking Tradition isn't easy. It takes the strongest of wills, knowledge, quick wits and a refusal to give up, no matter what happens along the way....

Commentary Out Of Books One Good Knight (Five Hundred Kingdoms #2)

The author takes The Tradition, stands it on its head, gives it a spin and serves up a deliciously clever story. The Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms are a treat. I wish there could be five hundred tales, one for each kingdom. I hate to think of the series coming to an end.

3.5 starsThis was not my favorite book of the Five Hundred Kingdoms, but it wasn't my least favorite, either. The blurb made me think that One Good Knight started out with a dragon chomping on virgins, but in actuality it takes a while to get to that part of the story. There is more going on in this kingdom than meets the eye, as Andie discovers. The twist as the end of the book was cute, unfortunately I already knew about it. I can't remember where I saw the spoiler, but I'm sure it was my own

Andromeda is a princess, and is very smart. Her mother keeps her at a distance and doesnt really want her learning too much, including how to govern. When the kingdom is threatened by a dragon, they decide to offer sacrificial virgins to appease it. I mostly enjoyed it, but it was a bit odd and had a definite weird ending. Im not sure if I want to continue the series, but since they all seem to be about different characters, I think I will. I think the series is really just the same world.

As fairy tale retellings go, this was fantastic! Lackey breaks many of the fairy tale tropes by shamelessly mixing and merging many well-known stories in the grab-bag of her Five Hundred Kingdoms. She's done an excellent job of building a world that allows her exactly that freedom, paying homage to the original tales and using them to inform and guide her characters' actions as they re-craft the story for themselves. I enjoy self-aware stories, where the characters exhibit the intelligence to

After reading and loving Lackey's "The Fairy Godmother", I was a little hesitant to continue the series since so many reviewers seemed to have some major problems with the second installment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book held my attention almost as much as its predecessor.While I must agree that plot elements can be a little predictable and that sometimes the main character's inner dialogue has a tendency to repeat itself, overall I found the kingdom of Acadia and its

I keep reading Lackey's new books because of some misguided sense of author loyalty. I realized a while back that I'd fallen out of love with her writing. Her characters are too one-dimensional, her plotting is cliched and at times forced, the endings are rushed, and her main characters all appear to be variations on the same theme. However, I had enjoyed The Fairy Godmother because it was fresh and original. I was therefore looking forward to this one. It was a let down. All of Lackey's faults
