Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first saw this book when I was browsing through a bookstore. I'm the sort of person who judges a book by its cover (I know, I know, what can i say? It's a horrible disease!!)so when I first glanced at the cover of Knightley Academy I was intrigued. Once I read the excerpt I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. I love reading books where the protagonist has the odds stacked against him and has to find a way to get through. Although I did think about Harry Potter because of a few similarities such as a boy (Henry Grim) and his friends and their exploits at school, Knightley Academy still captured my interest. I liked its different approach in that there is no magic, no vampires or werewolves involved (I think there is more than enough books about those). Instead, the school is about training boys to become knights and all of its classes are normal unassuming classes such as military history, medicine, and protocol. It also touches on darker issues such as the religious beliefs of Henry's friend Adam and how it stands in the perspective of the Nordlands, a country which is portrayed as dictatorial and communist.
I hope the author writes a sequel to this novel because I would love to read more about the exploits of Henry and his friends as they try their best to avert and survive war with the Nordlands.
