What ending?????, Mar 19 2006
By L. Kjonnerod - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Queens Knight (Paperback)
While this book was well written, drawing on the Queen's Gambit for its set up...just as the Queen and her knight have just mutually declared love, a rushed sequence involving a contrived fight between the Queen's knight and the Church Knights is trotted forth, then a rather unbelievable contretemps with the Heretics is stuck in, the two knights have a meeting of the minds if not agreement and then...... the book just stops; too many storylines left hanging, no indication of how the Queen will deal with the next, not even a promise of another book. I actually thought I was missing pages for a few startled moments.
But up till the end, it is a wonderful twisting of the story of this fascinating world, its magic, its belief set and its characters, building on Queen's Gambit, watching a realistic growth of the queen into her role. Read it, enjoy the story as it spins out, but do not expect closure of all of the key story lines. I don't blame Ms. Chester, I blame her editor and publisher who should have been more skilled in ensuring the book ended with a tantalizing hope for more of this construct, rather than just stopping the story without some closure.

A Great Read!, Jan 4 2005
By Lloy Williams "Lloy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Queens Knight (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed The Queen's Knight. I reread The Queen's Gambit before I began this last book, and the two read well as one volume. This book definitely does not stand on its own! Luckily, Chester does not waste time explaining what has gone on before, but just gets into the story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

Romantic valiant fantasy, Dec 9 2011
By Pen "In Colorado" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Queens Knight (Paperback)
Action, romance, magic blend together for a well written romantic fantasy. This is the 3rd in a series of 3.
Giood and evil magic-- the Queen fights to keep her realm safe of the dreaded evil forces in the world. Very
romeo and juliet because the love of her life can't be with her.
