The Ill-Made Knight by Christian Cameron
5.0
Incredibly captivating. I encourage people to listen to the audiobook, which really helps with immersion. Saul Reichlin's narration truly drags you into the world and makes it feel like you're sitting at the table as William Gold tells his story.
This story is a thought-provoking exploration of chivalry, cleverly woven into a coming-of-age narrative. Something that stuck with me is how much of a difference having trustworthy companions and capable mentors can make in your life.
Be warned, though. This story does not romanticise or sugarcoat the period it's set in. Times were hard, especially for peasants and doubly so for girls and women.
