I love the story line, the feelings it brings with it. You can improve on the typo errors though. The transition from ancient to modern is cool

I'm not usually a fan of historical stories but this one sounds quite different. Historical fantasy may be more interesting and I am intrigued to find out about how they defend the people against the terrorist attack. It sounds like there's lots of action!

The book has an interesting topic for the young adults, which will at a time take them through heroism and interesting team work. But the love and attractions between them is a little hint of some tragedy :D

Thanks for review and it seems that reading this book could be enjoyable with theme of love quadrangle which itself is more intruding, the score also indicates same though it may not be comfortable for very young and rated accordingly
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Immortalization in exchange for a life of service to all humanity...what a concept. The reviewer makes the tale sound interesting as the legend of the Knight (think Knights Templar) spans time while the characters adapt to their time and environment. Should be a challenging story if done well. Excellent review.

The storyline in this book sounds fascinating. Immortality is my favorite superpower and reading about characters progressing from an ancient era to the modern day is always interesting. Thank you for the review.

Thanks for the review. I like the way the story deals with both the past and the present lives of the major characters and would love to see how the parallel stories unfold. The use of different dialects seems to be a clever way to increase the authenticity of the story. I would like to read this one.

Looks like a great adventure story. The premise of immortality in this context is unique and interesting. I also think their aim to rid of the earth of evil is noble.

The desire to become a knight lays a pretty awesome track for this narrative. What an intriguing turn of events involving Ian, Jacques, Desiree, and Serena. Thanks for your review, it lays out the potential of this book wonderfully, but this is not for me due to the violence.

The change in storyline from ancient Jerusalem to modern day intrigues me. Seems like an appealing novel. Thanks for the review.

The story-line of The Honorable Knight is very interesting and flows smoothly. The novel is very descriptive and I feel that the author went to great depths to investigate both historical events and modern day technology to make this book even more convincing. The jump from ancient Jerusalem to modern day times was a bit drastic, but the reader does not feel lost as the dates are clearly marked and I felt that I was able to carry on with the new story-line easily.
