Anyone can be born a prince. But no one is born a leader.
Maxim has decided to enter the Night of Knives which is made of four trials. Each trial is designed to challenge a different kind of strength. Isra warns him to not enter because she entered and quit in the second trial and no one has ever gotten to the fourth door. Maxim still enters. Would he make it? We'll find out in the next part.
This story is getting really interesting now. I still don't know how the magic works but the story is getting mysterious and I can overlook the magic part. Art is definitely better than The Steel Prince.
4 stars

comics are just so short

November 8, 2023I imagine how mad the ones who read this issue when it came out for the first time must have been when they read the end. I would be mad, if I were them. However, sure, I didn't imagine Night of Knives to be trials when I heard it for the first time in A Conjuring of Light. It's not disappointing. Just, somehow unexpected for me, but usually, what I expect don't come true, so...
Never mind. I like the comics and the Steel Prince, so now, I'm sure I'll read all of them.

I'm loving the color change in this new arc for Maxim, a bit lighter in shade so we can see more of whats going on. Even though this is the arc that takes place at night for the Night trials/tournament.
I'm really excited to see how Maxim does in these tournaments, if he will be able to gain the respect of the men he leads. After reading this second issue of the arc, I know I already need the other two right now so I can read it all at once! I just have to wait till my other issue come in!

I actually really liked this issue! I liked the action scenes and getting to finally see the Night of Knives in action was just so cool. I also really loved the use of color in this issue! It really highlights the feelings of unease in every little part of the story. This one is getting a solid four stars.

Muszę przyznać, że Schwab naprawdę potrafi pisać. Trochę trwało, żebym się wkręciła, ale w końcu się udało i jestem naprawdę podekscytowana tymi wydarzeniami. I do tego sposób w jaki przestawia Maxima.. No naprawdę chapeau bas.

The art style is kind of confusing at points in time, but I will always love any return to Red London and the Shades of Magic world.

4.2/5 stars!. Very well done sequel!. Ahh such a cliff hanger! Ugh 😩

I think Maxim is a little over confident & dying to prove himself as a soldier.

I need more than five stars for this issue OMG
and that cliffhanger should be ILLEGAL. I mean I know it can't be the end BUT HOW DO YOU COME BACK FROM THAT

Oh, I like the whole four doors/four trials, this is far more interesting than I thought it would be. Kind of 80s fantasy vibe.

Oh yes, I love this magical tournament! I just love the magic in these novels. Victoria is seriously an amazing author!

My only problem is that if he got stabbed in the foot how on earth is he balancing???? The art is so much better in this part, I am really enjoying it!
