A review by kaetheluise_nckl
Knight in Paper Armor by Nicholas Conley
Disclaimer: I was contacted by Nicholas Conley with the request to review his book. I was provided with a free e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
I am not being paid for writing this review, and Mr. Conley’s request to review his book in no way affects the opinion I have of his work.
However, due to the circumstance that Knight in Paper Armor includes some heavy topics I decided not to rate this book.
My review will also include spoilers and will go into detail about my feelings about this book.
For reader discretion, I advise you to check the list of trigger warnings below, which I have compiled to the best of my abilities. Should you find any of the there mentioned content triggering, please do not read this review and do not purchase the book in order to avoid trauma.
Trigger Warnings: racicm, sexism, antisemitism, slavery, (attempted) genocide, emotional abuse, on screen death, violence and substance abuse, mention of the holocaust, national socialism and terrorism, exploitation of children and minorities, blackmailing, substance abuse, guns, trauma
Review in short form
Issues I had with this book
• Conley did not provide a list of trigger warnings in the description of the book on Amazon or in the beginning pages of the book itself, which is a huge no go, especially in times like these, and especially considering the content of this book.
• I don’t know what the target audience of this book is.
• In its essence, Knight in Paper Armor is like every Sci-Fi book I have read so far.
• The world-building was mediocre
• A sprinkle of representation here and there is definitely not enough.
• The villain is generic and uninteresting
• Too much unnecessary violence
Things that I enjoyed
• Billy's characteristics
• future Natalia's activism in politics
