Phenomenal. Well-written, thoroughly interesting high fantasy tale strewn with swords, battle, intruige, and hardship. Ransom has striven to be loyal and good and stand for all that is true his whole life, and I adore him for it. He's gone through so much, and I feel like the tale is just beginning. Incredible. Can't wait for more. And Claire!! She reminds me of Merida from Brave... full of passion and life and fiery will... beautiful character, and she matches him flawlessly.
Knight’s Ransom by Jeff Wheeler is my introduction to his writing and I am so happy to have met him and his characters. I loved the book and look forward to reading more of his work. I think I waited to long after reading Knight’s Ransom to write the review, because I don’t feel it reflects how I truly felt.Ransom had been taken hostage by King Gervase. Now, the king is dead and he’s going home. He had met Claire while he was a hostage and she is the one who gave him his name, Ransom. The king h...
This was one epic fantasy! The story does a wonderful job at introducing us to this world and characters. I have to say that he did it much better than a lot of authors out there. I was not confused and I understood everything in the first go. The romance was great and I think that the added ideas of King Arthur was perfect. Those those who love fantasy this one will be a hit for any reader.
Blurb Beware: The blurb gives away the entire plot.This is part of the Kingfountain world, set in the distant past of the world. I have only read one Kingfountain book, which definitely helped me understand the world, and the author recommends reading the rest of that series (starting with The Queen's Poisoner.)What makes this book great is the pacing. Young Marshall “Ransom” goes through training to be a knight. The book doesn’t dwell on these scenes longer than necessary while other books ofte...
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This will be available on January 26th.Reminiscent of Tad Williams’ The Dragonbone Chair, this book is obviously the work of a master. Every sentence, every word, is placed with care and precision. The story woven is a fantastic one, and I couldn’t put the book down.This book follows Ransom- once a king’s hostage, now a knight hopeful- as he navigates the dangers involved in becoming a knight and
You can find my full review on my blog, The Bookwyrm's Den, here.Many thanks to 47North and JeanBookNerd for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I’d never read a Jeff Wheeler book, even though I’ve heard good things about him. So when I saw that he started a new fantasy series, I jumped on the chance to read it. I mean, a dark world full of war and strife is absolutely right up my alley.Knight’s Ransom is an epic fantasy coming-of-age story. It’s a book about loyalty, wave
Knight's Ransom is the first book in The First Argentines series by Jeff Wheeler. The Fist Argentines series is an epic fantasy series that is set in the same world as Jeff Wheeler's Fountainhead series, but you do not need to read the Kingfountain series in order to be able to enjoy and understand this book. I loved Knight's Ransom. It has a classic fantasy feel with a big sweep world, fascinating plot and great well developed characters. It has made me even more excited to read the Kingfountai...
Thank you so much to 47North via NetGalley for my digital arc of Knight's Ransom!!Wheeler has finally done it! It seems like he took every little bit of constructive criticism from the first Kingfountain trilogies, chewed it over while he wrote something different, then came back and wrote an absolutely amazing first novel in this new series!I just freaking love the world of Kingfountain and it's lore and magic, and was so psyched to read this as an ARC (before obviously preordering it) heheh. ...
4.5/5 A well written fantasy novel about Knighthood, friendship, Court politics and Love.I honestly didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. Everything worked for me... Pacing was fast, Characterisation was really well done, twists and reveals were very effective and made the necessary impact for the overall story.It did have some minor flaws here and there but overall it's definitely worth a 5 ⭐Starting the sequel real soon....
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

The balance of power between the two men hinges on the fate of a young boy ensnared in this courtly intrigue. A boy befittingly nicknamed Ransom.When the Argentine family finally rules, Ransom must make his own way in the world. Opportunities open and shut before him as he
9/10(Originally posted on The Nerd Daily)I could probably end up talking all day about this book. There were so, so many feels involved in the reading process! This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me somewhat confused, and it made me want to throw it across the room and hug it at the same time.Knight’s Ransom isn’t really written like other books. While the main character is Marshall Barton, also known as Ransom, the storytelling style was very much like that of classics in that it w...
