Rendition In Pursuance Of 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....

Article Appertaining To Books One Good Knight (Five Hundred Kingdoms #2)

One Good Knight / 978-0-373-80260-9I rather enjoy the Five Hundred Kingdoms books - starting with "The Fairy Godmother" and continuing to the recent fifth book "The Sleeping Beauty". The tales are something of a mixed-up fairy tale due to the unique backstory: a powerful and impersonal force called The Tradition constantly tries to impose "fairy tale" logic on people whose lives loosely fit the structure of commonly told fairy tales, and Godmothers and Champions devote their lives trying to

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

Not as immediately engaging or even as fun as the first book, but still good enough to maintain my interest in this series.

Another happy and quick read. Still takes place in the Five Hundred Kingdoms (as the series name suggests). Elena & Alexander play a crucial part, but don't expect to see them appear much in the story. Otherwise fun and still refreshing, plot isn't as jam-packed as the Fairy Godmother, but I'm glad that it's quite different. Look forward to reading more in the series.

I'm still very much fascinated by the Tradition and the challenges it brings the heroes (and bad guys alike). I find it very interesting to try and guess how I myself would work around the Tradition. That makes for a good brainteaser while reading the fluffy stuff.

I love this series of books. Playful and well written, but also insightful and inspiring. I find myself stopping to ponder the words, while enjoying the narrative and the characters immensely.

This was an enjoyable book, but hindered some by the fact that I read it after book #3. So I knew one of the major plot twists before the book was barely more than half-way through.However, it is a fun read, and I do enjoy seeing how Lackey tweaks traditional fairy tales to create these stories. I might have given it a 3.5 star rating if that was allowed, but 4 is close enough.
