I just don't think this book is really meant for me to read. Maybe you'll enjoy it, but I didn't like how it was structured nor did I like a single character, I struggled to keep reading.

I have read a lot of remakes of classic novels lately. I love this one! It has King Arthur's characters only with a twist. As Morgan Fey burns books, the magic tombs filled with the history. Once there is one page left, a scribe can write the future. Morgan has an evil plan for the future. Can Artie, Lance, Gwen, Gal, and Merle beat her to it?

I love the futuristic elements as well as the classic elements. Camelot is a used car lot called Camel Lot, Avalon is a river that runs through the town, Lance drives a white charger, Merl has an RV that has a roundtable, Excalibur is the magic pen that will allow Arti to write a better future if she can get to the tomb before Morgan. I love the depth of details in the setting, plot, and characters.

I really hope that the author either applies this unique POV to other classics or continues with these characters

I enjoyed this book and I felt that the characters were good, but the sequence of the events seemed a little rushed. The ending was slightly unrealistic, although at that point I liked the characters enough that it didn't really faze me. Arti's separation from her parents in the beginning was hard to read and even though it was necessary, it still struck a chord. I really liked one of her new friends named Gwen, and felt sad that she had such an unhappy childhood with mean parents, so I was pleased with the decision she made in regard to Arti's parents even though she didn't have much in terms of experience with her own. I was really rooting for her when she faced the main antagonist as well. Arti herself was probably my least favorite character, mostly because she had a lot of doubt in herself and few useful survival skills. Everyone else was good and this book was decent overall.

I just don't think this book is really meant for me to read. Maybe you'll enjoy it, but I didn't like how it was structured nor did I like a single character. I think none of them were relatable and they weren't realistic enough. The plot, on the other hand, was pretty good compared to the rest of the book. I just hope that if you read it, you'll enjoy it more than I have.

I didn't like much this book, but can't advise anyone against reading it, as it's clearly a case of "it's not you it's me".
The general idea is very good and should have been entertaining, but alas I was bored, finding difficult to read on, and stopped at 30% (as a rule I always try to push till the third of a book before deciding to give it up).
The characters are nice, but very classic, quite generic. I couldn't find them endearing at all. Reading on, I found many flaws in the story, convenient coincidences, characters' psychologies lacking depth, too much not very interesting information...
But still, the writing is good and enthusiastic, the story is thoroughly thought and told, and I'm sure that many readers will love this story. A shame I wasn't one of them!

The Book Knights really intrigued me both with the description and the cover. I loved the idea of having a gender-swapped Arthurian tale, especially with it being set in a dystopian world where reading is banned. I enjoy reading about what would happen if the world stopped reading one day, and the results are usually not pleasant. So when I read about the world in which this story is set, I had high expectations for the book and characters. I do have to say that somewhere along the line it began to fall a little flat, and I found some of it to be rushed.

I think the world building in this book was a little rushed and I would have loved to found out more about the world and why things were the way they were. I thought that was a little lacking, and I had so many questions about the motives. I just wished there had been more development of the characters and the story surrounding them, it would have been great to hear more about the way the characters felt about the way things were happening, and for the timing to be a little less rushed. I think it would have taken this book to the next level, but saying this I really enjoyed the storyline without the development.

My favourite character was definitely Gal, I am always drawn to the spunky little characters and I loved the way she treated Arti, especially when she was teaching her how to survive on the streets. I think this was her shining moment, and there were moments where you almost forgot how young she was and then there were sparkling bits of dialogue where her age shone through. I loved that part about her! She definitely made the book all the better, and I’m really glad she had her shining moment in the end.

I definitely think I would recommend this book, but maybe to a younger audience. The Book Knights is a book that really enjoyed, but it just wasn’t long enough or developed enough to warrant more than three stars. It’s a shame but I think it would be much better suited to either a younger audience or someone wanting a lighter read.

I really didnt connect with the characters, however I do feel like the story had so much potential! The cover is beautiful, which was what pulled me to request the arc. For me it's important to feel "feelings" when I read and I have to say I had a bit of a hard time staying engaged.
