This is an extract from the book “The Knight of Swords” by Robert Louis Stevenson. This man was a great man, a great explorer, and a great writer. Stevenson’s stories and works are legendary. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I thought I’d let you guys know that the book is available on Kindle. You can pick it up at Amazon.
Well, a lot of people have said that I should put this book on my Kindle. They have said that it’s too long, that it’s too wordy, and that I should just cut it down to the couple of weeks that I usually use to read, which are all kinds of true. But I am going to tell you all the same thing. I am going to read this book, and let you guys know exactly what I think.
It’s a fantasy series, so it’s a book that covers a wide range of topics. There are no big plot holes in this book because it’s all about the characters. The characters are fun, they all play a part in the story, and they all do something that makes the story feel like a series. But the book has a lot of action, and suspense, and the main character gets a little too intense and not very believable at the end.
The plot is pretty good. It’s basically a long sword and sorcery story set in a fantasy world with a very good narrator. As much as the book has action and suspense, this is a book that is a little too intense. Its too difficult to read for a reader who has a high level of imagination.
Also, the main character in the book is a female, and so that doesn’t make sense, and the book is supposed to be more about the male protagonist, Colt Vahn, but it is really hard to find a female protagonist to fit the book’s story into. Plus, I can’t help but feel like the main male protagonist is too much of a jerk to have a female protagonist or to have a female POV character.
A book about a female protagonist trying to kill her brother in a male POV is hard to understand in part because it is obviously a man’s story, and in part because the story has to deal with a woman’s issues. Even more, the book is written to be as sexy as it can be, yet even that has come across as too much “sex sells” in its presentation.
I have a friend who has been telling me for years that the reason I prefer to read historical fiction written by women is because they always come across as more intelligent and emotional than men, which is why I always find such books more readable than the male POV books I prefer. I actually think that the main protagonist in a book like this should be a man. If a male protagonist were to be the main character in this book, I would have to agree with that.
But I’m on the side of female protagonists as a rule. I would never pick a female protagonist in a historical fiction book, but I think it’s important to point out that there are some books where a female protagonist has a significant impact on the plot. I do like books where a female protagonist has an impact on the main character, but I think most of the time that male protagonist has an impact on the main character that’s only tangential to the story.
The reason I bring this up is because I recently read the books of Anne Rice (that’s my girlfriend), and I think in some ways her female protagonists have more impact than male protagonists in that her female characters have a lot more agency in the story. This is likely due to the fact that a lot of Anne Rice’s stories take place in a fantasy world, which is often more linear in nature.
