Milady Keladry of Mindelan is a page and a knight in training. However, being a lady, many believe she cannot become a knight and should just quit. Yet, soon, she realizes that many knights mistreat the pages. Pages are expected to do whatever a knight commands, but a cruel knight named Joren purposely drops objects, forces pages to clean them, and sometimes even beats them up. Keladry decides to stand up for the pages and try to put an end to the mistreatment. She must face the challenges of being a knight while defending the other pages from abuse.
If you’re a medieval-themed book fan, check out this graphic novel! Based on a classic book by Tomar Pierce (that you don’t even need to have read, I didn’t ;), it features knights, brave female warriors, and a solid motivational message that inspires you.
The main character, Keladry, is an exceptional knight who stands up for others and fights for what’s right. Throughout the story, you’ll root for her as she faces challenge after challenge. And the art in the graphic novel is top-notch – the illustrations are just as captivating as the story itself.
What sets this book apart, though, is its message. It shows that even in a world filled with horrible people, we can all be the ones who help the victims of their cruelty. It’s a powerful reminder that we can make a difference, no matter how small we feel.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be inspired and uplifted. It’s perfect for anyone who loves medieval tales, strong female characters, or a motivational story. So please don’t wait; oops, yes, you have to wait until July 2 to pick up a copy and get ready to be swept away by the adventures of Keladry and her fellow knights!
