Description
Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML: When a dragon storms the castle, what should a (virgin) princess do? Why, turn to her studies, of course! But nothing practical-minded Princess Andromeda of Acadia finds gives a definitive solution. The only Traditional answer, though, is soothing the marauding dragon by a virgin sacrifice. Things are going fairly smoothly with the lottery�except for the women chosen, of course�until Princess Andromeda herself is picked! But facing down the dragon doesn't go quite as planned, and now, with the help of her Champion, Sir George, Andromeda searches for the dragon's lair. But even�especially�in the Five Hundred Kingdoms, bucking Tradition isn't easy. It takes the strongest of wills, knowledge, quick wits and a refusal to give up, no matter what happens along the way.....… (more)

Like her first book in the Luna published Five Hundred Kingdom series (The Fairy Godmother), One Good Knight is a 90% fantasy, 10% romance. With enough magic and action, as well as feminist critique, the story presented in this sequel can attract a wide audience: from fantasy junkies, to fairy tale
Told with humor, One Good Knight is the unpredictable tale of Princess Andromeda of Acadia, who we first meet as she looks off a cliff wishing to fly. Obedient to her mother and her royal ways, all Andromeda (called Andie, but not in public!) wishes is to escape it all. Freedom is a resonant theme throughout the book, and this is what she get to a certain extent when her scheming mother and her assistant decide to let Andie grow up, work as an researcher and advisor, who turns out to be too smart for her own good. As relationships within the household swell with bitterness, as luck would have it, a violent dragon appears over the skies, threatening the livelihood of the kingdom. As legend has it, girl virgins are a dragon's favorite treat, eventually leaving the queen no choice but to sacrafice her own daughter.
What ensues is humorous, thought-provoking, and warm. Along the way we meet George, the good knight that isn't who he appears to be, a gaggle of lost virgins who decide set up their own colony, and a book-hoarding dragon. Again, Lackey is known for creating realistic characters, who feel, eat, sleep, and drink just like anyone else we would know, and her insight and satire of human nature and societal norms is refreshing in a genre that is usually dismissed as rubberish. While I am not too keen on happy endings, the ending here is unpredictable, yet happy and magical. And what else can we expect from a fairy tale?

One Good Knight starts of with the daughter of the Widow Queen Cassiopeia of Acadia, Andromeda (a.k.a. Andie) and her quest to win her mother's favor. What follows is a tale of intrigue, surprise, high fantasy, allusions to fairy tales and a healthy dose of creatures magical, mythical and otherwise
Although the story started off rather slowly it certainly built up steam as it went on to a very exciting resolution. I really thought it very imaginative how the author has mixed up and re-arranged a plethora of myths, legends and tales to come up with her second story of "The Five Hundred Kingdoms". My only complaint would be that there really is nothing in, on or around the book to let you know this is the second book of a series, except some obvious allusions to another tale in the context of the book itself, and the fact that LT has the Title with the addendum "Book 2" in parenthesis. Had I realized this I would have certainly picked up and read the first book, "The Fairy Godmother" before reading this. Not that you can't understand this book out of order because you can. I just like to read series in order if at all possible.
Over all I thought this was a delightful book with fun characters. I really enjoyed Princess Andie, George, Peri, Adam and the fox. I really hope the fox makes an appearance in later tales in this series (as I suspect he will) just so that we can see what has happened to him.
This is a definite recommendation for lovers of light fantasy and fun tales.

After devouring The Fairy Godmother, I wasted no time in getting my hands on a copy of One Good Knight and I am so glad I did. I was a little worried because the reviews weren't all glowing. The heroine of this story, Andie is a poor little rich girl, the daughter of a Queen. She is undervalued and

overlooked, and tends to blend into the background. She enjoys reading, researching, and spending time with six guards, who are the only people she considers friends. One day, the Queen and her 'consort', a wicked wizard, take notice of Andie's smarts and hire her on to provide information to the Palace. Shortly thereafter, a dragon is spotted making havoc in the small Kingdom. While they send for help from another Kingdom (one where Godmother Elena prosides), the palace begins a Lottery of young virgins. If that person's name is picked, they are offered up in sacrifice to the Dragon. Now Andie must find a way to free the Kindgom from the dragons and stop the sacrifices...maybe they will finally get help from a good Knight? You really should pick up this book and see how the story unfolds. There is adventure aplenty. There are also several interesting twists that work well here. The characters are charming and smart. They don't often make silly mistakes for the sake of advancing the plot. The brief visit with Elena and Alexander is exciting. In my opinion this is another five star novel. I have alredy picked up the next in the series Show Less

Seriously, y'all, I have so much fun reading these books.
I think, in a way, this book was almost better than the first... because it didn't require as much setting up as the first did. That said, it still did require some, but it was the perfect set-up for the story to shift in a way that had me sitting up and saying.. "What?!".
... oh no, I'm not going to tell you what had me saying that, you just need to trust me when I say these are fun, fantasy books well worth reading.
And can I just say... I love what Mercedes Lackey does with the unicorns. The image of unicorns going all doe-eyed and docile, panting over virgin girls has me dying of laughter every time I see them make an appearance. And what impressed me most about this book? There was romance with absolutely ZERO sexual scenes described. None! And still, I swooned and sighed with happiness.
And most importantly - the girls in these books.. HAVE BRAINS! And they use them! They are intelligent, witty, and brave! So marvelous!
Fantastic series and I'm going to start the next book as soon as I finish this review - I recommend you start with The Fairy Godmother and work your way through them as well, if you haven't already!

As per the last book, I very much like the premise of this series. I love the idea that Tradition moves a bit like fate and tries to make people's lives fall into a story-book trajectory. It's new and interesting, so watching Lackey manipulate the story and reference old fairy tales in a new way is just fantastic.
There were some great components.
I liked how Lackey lingered for a little while on Andie coming to terms with her mother's evilness.
I loved the fox. Every scene was just a mix of awww, hilarity, cuteness! Imagining it within dragon teeth like a cage, listening to it whine about not being free, etc. Absolutely delightful!
I do wonder, however, how evil she actually was. Was it tradition to moved her towards that path? We'll never know.
Also, we don't really see how the blood-sibling pact changed anything. I wish there were some addendum about that.
Three stars. It was a solid second book for this series. It didn't blow my mind or anything though.

I picked up One Good Knight by Mercedes Lackey for a quick, light-hearted read. This is number two in her Five Hundred Kingdoms series, and this one was a blend of the Andromeda myth and the story of St. George the Dragon slayer. Of course, the author puts her own spin on these stories so
When a dragon begins to menace her country, it isn’t too long before it is decided to appease the dragon by offering it virgins on a weekly basis. Princess Andromeda thought she was chosen by lottery to be the next victim but in reality, her mother along with her advisor had arranged that she be chosen. Obviously, they have something to hide. When a knight arrives to save the princess from the dragon, it seems “tradition” is planning on her falling in love with her champion and together they will save the Kingdom. But tradition has a way of being warped in these tales, and instead of falling in love with Sir George, the Princess only has eyes for another. Of course all is straightened out during the course of the story, and in the end, both the Princess and Sir George are destined for happiness, just not with each other.
The story was fun enough but the characters are fairly one-dimensional and the romance was a little silly. These fractured fairy-tales are simply fun escape reads that are enjoyable enough at the time, but have no staying power.

At first I just couldn't get into the story.... which is why the 3.85 rating.
The protagonist was just too long winded, but from the point where she was sacrificed to the dragon, things really picked up and the book held my interest, so much so that I didn't want to put it down....so I stayed up
Queen Cassiopeia and her secret lover (who is also a secret Magus) Adviser Solon are getting richer as the kingdom grows poorer.... The weather is changing and more & more ships are being floundered & their cargoes scavenged.
Princess Andromeda (Andi), much ignored & disliked by her mother, all of a sudden finds herself exalted and in the position to provide information regarding the kingdom, past histories, weather patterns to Solon....thus making her a very dangerous enemy to the Queen.
Then arrives the Dragon & it is Andi who comes up with the solution to the Dragon problem......legend has it that Dragons demand Virginal sacrifices & offerings of riches. Solon & the Queen devise a "Lottery" system for choosing the Dragon's sacrifices and when Andi finds out that the "Lottery" system is a sham, she then becomes the next loser of the lottery.
This is where the book gets good and the story really takes off......

All Princess Andromeda really wants to do is to be useful to her mother, the queen. Problem is, her mother doesn't seem to realise that Andie is competent at anything, and she marginalises Andie's accomplishments. It also doesn't exactly help matters that Andie is half-blind without her glasses, or

I originally reviewed this book on my blog - The Cosy Dragon. For more recent reviews by me, please hop over there.
Princess Andie is intelligent, waif-like beautiful and has just turned 19. Her mother however isn't ready to see her as an adult, and would rather she was confused and silly with
Andie is smart, and bookish - just what I like in a female protagonist. She isn't very good with common things, but her common sense is certainly in place. Yay for a non-traditional heir. Lackey has a good thing going, and she really works with it.
The different perspectives of this book, particularly the Queen vs Andie in the first parts of the book really set the plot going. Those that have read The Fairy Godmother in this series will recognise the Traditional path that is taking place, but Andie can't see it. You just keep waiting for the penny to drop!
So many good things to say about this book, but many of them would give away too much of the plot. It's not a particularly hard read, but it will sucker you in and steal all of your time (oops to doing all that study I had lined up)
Andie's knowledge of the Tradition, and also that of the other people in her Kingdom (such as Sophont Balen) seems strange, after the emphasis in The Fairy Godmother about most people having no idea. Yet everyone seems to be exploiting it easily! It's nice to see how a situation can be resolved without a Fairy Godmother though - the regular people have a chance.
The cover of this book doesn't match how I saw Andie at all. I though she was very thin with no breasts, and the girl on the cover certainly does have those! Also I expected that the dragon would be less fierce looking than that. Hard to discuss more without giving the plot away.
Worth a read. I'd say this book is suitable for teens as well as adults because it contains none of the explicit sex scenes of the first book. This series is a very good one, and worth buying to reread often. Lackey really breaths life into old fairytales.
