Knight in Paper Armor by Nicholas Conley
3.0
Conley is a writer full of imagination and originality. Knight in Paper Armor will take you on a twisting and turning rollercoaster ride of unknown destinations. Conley weaves dark historical themes into a fantastical tale of a magical empath who can take one's pain into himself and control those around him.
It is a romantic tale full of tragedy and darkness, but not without hope. Hope that rides on the tails of the young.
Overall, the story was well-written and much heart was clearly put into the storytelling. I did find that perhaps there were too many balls being juggled in this complicated metaphor of a story. As such, there was just too much going on for my personal reading tastes. However, I am sure that for many other readers it will be quite palatable.
