The Green Knight was a very enjoyable reading experience! Although I like science fiction, I often don't read space fantasies because they often feel immature and read more like comic books than a novel. Not the case with The Green Knight! This was it so much a space story as it was a story that takes place in space.

The story focuses on the life of Vere CasterLan, who forsakes her birthright as heir to her father's kingdom, to live a life full of drinking and thieving. She feels the call to return home to avert an impending war sparked by the destruction of a passenger spaceship by her father's fleet.

The book begins slowly, but the pace picks up fairly quickly and keeps up throughout. I easily maintained my interest all the way through. The book was crisp and tight, and the action flowed at a nice clip. The combination of science fiction, space fantasy, magic and technology was very well done. The Green Knight was pleasantly reminiscent of Star Wars, and the next installment would seem to to into the Legend of King Arthur, which I look forward to. ( )

The Green Knight (Space Lore #1) by Chris Dietzel is an amazing sci-fi journey into fun. There's such interesting characters, places, action, fast plot, emotions, very imaginative fantasy, and a great overall appeal to this book. I loved it and I see why some compare it to some aspects of Star Wars. It has the many characters, a type of universal force (which is named briefly but I have a feeling it may come in handy for future books) , space wars and action, complex and delightful characters and unsavory ones too, good vs evil, and a quest of one character to find themselves. The book is different in that is has a whole different feel. You don't THINK Star Wars when you read it, it is totally different. Again, complex characters, great plot, and awesome and believable dialogue mixed with the imaginative creatures, places, battles, make this an astounding book. A must read for galactic war sci-fi readers. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. ( )
