Robin Hood-esque group of esteemed ladies + YA historical romance = pure delight. Lady Knight was one of my five star reads for April. Sometimes I struggle to write reviews for the books I really love, and this is why the review is a little late. I was pulled into this wonderful story of love and light vigilante-ism and didn’t want to leave. 

Zia Osborn doesn’t want to live the quiet, expected life of a Duke’s daughter. With her friends in the Lady Knights, she’s able to read the books she wants, practice fencing, and work on social justice. 

Rafi Nasser is a rogue - and Zia’s brother’s best friend - who learns of her secrets and reluctantly agrees to keep them in order to keep Zia safe. Neither of them expected to find safety and understanding in each other, or for the other to truly see them as no one else has so far. 

Lady Knight was such a joy to read from start to end. Narrator Yasmin Mwanza brought the story to life and I loved her work. 

I received an advanced reading copy, receipt of which did not impact my review.
