This fantasy follows true to genre expectations. In a world with familiar characteristics to our own Middle Ages, the new countries and customs come naturally. The addition of magic, sorcery, and demons hunting trained soldiers clad in armor and chainmail, armed with axes and swords, transforms this otherwise ordinary land into the fantastic. While some fantasy novels have a way of isolating the reader with too many unfamiliar settings, customs, or details and stopping the reader from becoming fully immersed because of some wildly outlandish fantastical aspects, this book does an excellent job of the opposite. While reading I found myself being drawn deeper into the world and watching these characters fend off magical and demonic threats without it ever disrupting my reading experience as being mistaken for too “unbelievable”. It all seemed perfectly natural in this world and setting. What made it work so well, was that it wasn't completely foreign and did draw in the familiarity of Knights, sorcery, and the Middle Ages.
The initial set up was a little confusing, I didn't grasp at first that they were talking about a nation and not a person or deity. After the prologue this was made clear and I was able to understand the politics better.
The romance was a little rushed in my opinion. It is not very different from many other fantasy or sci-if novels where building the romantic relationship is less important than the rest of the plot. Still, I would have enjoyed the progress of the two main characters transitioning and developing from stubborn and prideful to a deeper connection over more than just a few chapters.
That said, Fel and Avera are delightful characters. I enjoy that they are both incredibly skilled warriors and hold their own in a fight but work even better together. Their bickering is entertaining albeit a little too scripted. Sometimes the retorts and dialogue seems a little forced but it is still enjoyable.
The fight scenes are delightfully graphic and go into magnificent detail. It's as if you're able to watch these soldiers take on the beasts. Some of the details are a bit cringe-worthy in their goriness, but it is done tastefully and never too over the top. I actually enjoyed the goriness because it was properly balanced and used for emphasis, not to disgust.
Reading “Walls of Knevermoore” is entertaining and difficult to put down. The narrative dove into the action and plot immediately and the politics were messy without a clear better choice which made the character’s motivations understandable and relatable. This is definitely worth the read!
