A review by jdashcastillo
The Knight by Gene Wolfe

4.0

alright, this was gonna be a 3 til the end brought it up a bit, it does pale in comparison to the (mis)adventures of Severian, especially right after but it’s stands well on its own. Norse mythology inspired with literally everything, an MC you can actually believe with everything and don’t have to second guess, morally a good person and also not as challenging a read as BoTNS. but there were times where i just felt like why am i reading this but i’m glad i finished it, there were very strong parts for me and the pacing is what you’d expect from a Wolfe novel as well. especially with when you’re dealing with the main character going over the account of their journey. loved it and Gylf and all of Able’s companions along the way. he really felt like a pokémon trainer at one point man. but i’m very excited to see how the wizard finishes this duology.
