Ladies of the Knight
A taciturn knight takes on an exuberant young woman as her squire.
This is a cute story about perseverance, friendship, and finding yourself; it's nothing that hasn't been done a thousand times before, but having the knights be women is a nice twist. I was kind of disappointed that the knights are strictly professional athletes: they fight solely in tournaments for fame and endorsement deals.
The art is hit and miss for me: I like the character designs and am a huge fan of the color palette, but I found the drawings too flat.
Ladies of the Knight isn't great literature and I probably won't read it again, but it was a pleasant way to spend an evening.
