Summary
Forget George and the dragon. Forget Sir Lancelot and tales of knightly exploits. This is dirty, bloody work. This is violent, visceral action. This is a mercenary knight as you've never seen one before.
Twenty-eight florins a month is a huge price to pay for a man to stand between you and the Wild.
Twenty-eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders.
But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or, worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder.
It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.
The Red Knight has all three, he has youth on his side, and he's determined to turn a profit. So when he hires his company out to protect an abbess and her nunnery, it's just another job.
The abbey is rich, the nuns are pretty and the monster preying on them is nothing he can't deal with. Only it's not just a job. It's going to be a war....

A well formed story and world
Miles has created a bevy of characters in a chivalrous world where mystical creature run rampant. I really looked forward to this. The detail to the Knights and the fight scenes were first class. I did find a little too much detail at times and I found this story felt too long and I did get bored in parts.
I was unsure if I would continue with the story and have decided after much debate to go on with it when I can as I hope the story gets better as it goes. We shall see.

Great story, terrible editing
Great story, really enjoyed it but the editing was horrendous
So many sentences cut off randomly, at first I thought it was meant to be that way
Doesn't take away from the story too much, still recommend it
Sort out your editing, ruining good authors books

Pretty darn good😀
The days are not long enough. A decent chunky story that grips you by the brain and doesn't let go! Interesting storyline weaving too.

Couldn't get into it
This book just wasn't for me. I found it hard to listen to, and the characters were not interesting enough to make it worth persevering.

Good shit
Liked the idea of mercenary captain as a main character which thankfully was well executed. Thought some of the other POVs were a bit boring at times, though I can see why they’re needed. Strong 4/5, might read again someday.

A great world of magic n mystery blended together.
An interesting mix of magical creatures, faith and war. A must read for Sci Fi fanatics.

Realistic engaging monster slaying
Thoroughly enjoyed this book, both the character development and attention to detail are excellent, really evident that the author knows his stuff when it comes to knight equipment etc and adds a very believable depth to everything. The plot is also twisted and interesting without being convuluted.

talk about EPIC
a simple story that gets a little bit overblown with complex characters and their motivations with the simple feeling of who will live and who will die.
look forward to the next book.
