Woman of Honor Kingdom of Arnhem Book 1 eBook Nicole Zoltack

I often have to reset my brain during the first chapter or two of books that are new worlds, and this was the same. The story started strong though and was definitely worth the effort. I had to remind myself that in the age and place of Nicole's world, children grow up a lot faster than my four. They have a maturity necessary for the hardships they will face.

Aislinn came off strong and determined from the very beginning. I loved that she knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it even though it was not the accepted norm for her country. Many times she was so stubbornly focused on her goal that she missed or ignored certain aspects of a child's life. This was one of the things that made her so real to me. I could relate to that stubborn focus.

I also loved how she matured over the years. One of my favorite scenes is when she breaks down in tears over the death of a young girl. It is a great moment when you realize what a caring woman she has grown into on top of her strength as a knight in training. The balance and realism is expertly crafted. A true example of how to show who your character is and not telling.

There is also a sweet romance woven through this book. I didn't feel like it was the main focus, but the back and forth between these characters is so natural you can't help but be swept away by it. When it looks like there is no way they can ever be together, you ache with Aislinn.

All in all, I really enjoyed this read and can't wait for life to slow down so I can read the next two books in the series.

Woman of Honor Kingdom of Arnhem Book 1 eBook Nicole Zoltack Reviews

Nicole Zoltack's WOMAN OF HONOR weaves the tale of the first lady knight of Arnhem. Sprinkled with historical facts, bullies, and a good dose of love and honor, WOMAN OF HONOR is a coming of age novel set in the fantastical medieval world of Arnhem Kingdom. Aislinn is brave and truly grows to be a woman of honor. The characters are likeable and realistic. We feel Aislinn's pains while she tries to prove herself. She overcomes tradition and the growing threat of Speica. This novel has history, knights, and mythological creatures and is filled with intrigue, mystery, horror, and, most important of all, love. In this first book of the Kingdom of Arnhem series, I feel like we touch upon their lives and a conflict looming in their future. By the end, I craved more from this fantastical world, and I'm glad Ms. Zoltack supplied it in her next book.
Very definitely a terrific read, well worth it's price. While a lot of the plot is quite predictable and seems familiar, it's like going to grandma's house - while the destination is quite predictable, the trip there always yields fresh surprises. 😉
This is only the second fantasy book I have read in my adult years. I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

It's medieval days and Aislinn is seven years old but desires to be a knight and take her dead brother's place in the king's "army." Her little seven year old self takes a coach to the kingdom and presents herself to the king. She begins training to be a knight. There is math, reading and writing, horsemanship, archery, weapons, and swimming. Aislinn overcomes every obstacle in her path from a group of bully boys to an ornery horse. She makes friends with two boys, one of them the future king. As they grow up together in this school for knights, Aislinn and Prince Caelan fall in love. But Aislinn must focus on obtaining her knighthood (she is the first woman to attempt it in this kingdom) and Caelan must marry another.

There are a few battles between some group called the Speicans and a lot of good life lessons for Aislinn. There were a few fire breathing dragons doing a flyby or two and my eyebrow did go up when the half lion/half eagle creature "mind talked" to Aislinn. (What was that about anyway?? Nothing came of that at all...)

I really enjoyed it, especially reading about a young girl learning to be a knight, but there were a lot of typos for a published book and a lot of things were left unexplained (There is a sequel tho). Also, Aislinn's dead brother showing up and talking about knights in Heaven was weird.

Otherwise, great book, well written, and about a strong female character.
