Final rating: 4.75/5 stars
Final rating - for the whole series: 5/5 stars
The Twelve Holy Knights remain unchanged through the generations.
And the law and justice they represent will forever remain unchanged as well.
Even when everything else changes with time... some things will never change.
The Sun Knight will never change.
The eleven brothers standing by his side will never change either,
A little pretense in exchange for eleven brothers, what a good deal!


Everyone should read this series, it is so amazing that it reminded me that not all first person POVs are bad! This is a work of art! It is so hard to say goodbye to one of your favorite series... I am kidding, this monster of a series has one more novel that's about the next generation and bunch of side stories! And even 19 of them (or so?)!

And yes, these books can be found on english, as the translation group got permission to translate from the auhtor, and yet I would be among the first to buy this series if it was ever liscenced!


Anyway, it is always a hard task to make a character that was your narrator for a long time completely change, yet still be the same old character who acts on his own previous instincts, memories and actions. This is a very hard task and i think it was done very well.

Honestly, the beginning was a bit slow and well... not really captivating as all beginnings of the previous books but ever since a certain person appears - that Sun can't do anything without, aka - well, that's when things get absolutely more interesting.

Considering this is the final volume of the stories of the 38th generation of the Holy Knights, I will talk about everyone in the character section. All of them were just amazing and I loved it.

The only thing this series might lack is a constant female character, but there are many of them through the series, but sadly i disliked most of them. I believe my final favorites would be Pink, Scarlet and Alice. They weren't those weak and stupid stereotypes after all. More like scary and manipulative. Which is what I loved.

Anyway, there were parts i bawled my eyes out, and laughed like a maniac. That's nothing new, honestly, when it comes to this series.

► STORY:


*Spoilers for the previous volume, so skip this:*

The Demon King has been born, and he is not planning on returning to the seat of the Sun Knight ever again! Which is very troublesome, because Grisia's real personality was actually just enough for him to tip over the edge of morality.

First, he is terribly bored. So he goes out and randomly joins adventurer party and decides to make one of them a hero that will try to kill the Demon King, while pretending to be their companion. He just loves abusing Awaitsun (partly because he still holds grudge over him killing Leaf), and is highly doubting his loyalty. Not to mention Illu who is completely loyal to Roland, yet, Grisia managed to "convince" him to work for him while keeping Roland's wellbeing over his head.

There is only one person, in the entire world, who might be able to keep him in check and he arrives just in time... But is he the person who will be able to help him go back to before, or will follow all of his commands?

In the meantime, Lesus is having an army advance towards the Demon King. He will not let Grisia get away from his duties as a Sun Knight, because they are lost without him.

► CHARACTERS:


There are like so many characters so let's do this: (actually non spoilery much)


Grisia Sun: Even though he changed, a lot of him stayed in his subconsciousness. Even though he loves bullying his own knights, he would never allow another party to bully them instead. He is very protective, possessive and cruel in this book, but when you look at it, hasn't he always been this way? Just raise those traits and lower his kindness, consideration and thoughtfulness and you will see that he is... in a way, still the same, just balanced out.
“Lesus, the first time I cast Resurrection, I lost my eyes, the Sun Knight’s blue eyes. The second time was the Sun Knight’s golden hair. The third time even my affinity for the holy element disappeared. What do you think the God of Light means?”

Lesus Judgment: Still the cold on the outside, yet calculative, extremely caring, the actual big brother of the group, he does everything in his power to return their own leader to the Holy Knights. No matter what methods he or his subordinates may use, he will never relent in setting out what needs to be done.

“But Sun is definitely not a weak and useless person! He chooses to take responsibility, and sometimes he even takes on too much. He uses everything in his power to prevent the people he cares about from getting hurt. But you, the Demon King, are a person who chooses to run away.”


Ceo Storm: a workaholic who needs more rest than anything, yet is there for everyone and supporting as they go, he honestly just needs a damn break. Out of all the characters, Ceo is one of my favorites so far. Without him the whole Holly temple would collapse, honestly.

Georgo Earth: even though he started on unfriendly terms with his own Captain, Grisia, he still wants him back, despite their arguments and their fall outs, he still cares about Sun.

Elmairy Leaf: The kindest knight, both in his stereotypical personality and his real personality, he was constantly in grief over everything Sun has done for him and lost for him, and yet he is not able to help...

Demos Cloud: an unknown support to many of them, he will come out from the shadow when you least expect it, yet you can still count on him to be there.

Chikus Blaze: much like his steretypic personality, he is hot tempered and easy to lose his patience, but still great support in the times of need and is one who pretty much idolises the Sun Knight.

Ecilan Ice: Even though he has to be emotionless a lot of time, it's possible to break through and see his own personality come out. There is nothing he cares about more than his own team, his brothers. And would suffer many things, just to make it right. Truly a mother of their team.

Vival Moon: even though he has his own perks, he would help doing whatever it takes, no matter what.

Laica Metal: who gets so happy when he finds out that he actually managed to offend someone without even trying (his teacher would be so proud), yet he still tries his best to give compliments too!

Aivis Stone: the "stubborn" person who refuses to be stubborn by actually being stubborn because he refuses to be stubborn. Did i confuse anyone?

Rolland Hell : who is at loss. He feels tremendous guilt over allowing Grisia to do what he wanted, and knowing that he could have stopped it. Yet, everyone else supports him, because after all - he is one of them.

Adair: the character that is so high on my list of favorite characters, that he might break the roof - there is only one thing worth mentioning: no one deserves a Vice Captain such as Adair. He would do anything, and I mean EVERYTHING for Grisia. That's how much he loves and respects him, even if what he has to do will hurt him, he was always one of those who managed to change Grisia's opinions on the matter. Even if Grisia didn't keep up what he promised, he was still there for him.



“At the time, Knight-Captain Storm and the others had all returned, yet you had not. Because of that, I felt somewhat… lost, so I did not particularly notice him.”


The new adventurer party: Of which the most notable is Taylen, the one Grisia choose as a hero, who holds his own secrets. I wish there were more about them, but this was nice too.

Elaro: Who chose to walk the path Grisia suggested to him (even though a bit too early!), yet he sees the things in Grisia other people can't...

“Well, perhaps it was because of your brilliant smile!”


Awaitsun and Alice : who follow the Demon Kings commands, as much as possible. Although Awaitsun is having a hard time doing it, and somewhat regrets supporting Grisia on this matter, because no matter what he did, Grisia was never satisfied and took it out on him. Which, in a way, was actually the point of his whole life: as a duty of the Silent Eagle is to take the brunt of demon king's anger. He deserves so much better, honestly. (As well as Illu who cares about his own creator, Rolland). Alice on the other hand, became even scarrier! Just try to avoid babysitting her children!

Scarlet and Pink and Stephen: the undying that only wanted their own children to stay alive, prosper and do their roles, and help them in their times of need. Yet out of three, only two of their children survived.

► OVERALL:


Amazing conclusion, with a strong and well thought of ending. There were just a few questions - I wish i knew what happened to certain characters after the end of the crusade. But i have another sequel and bunch of short stories, so that might explain what happened to his But nevertheless, i believe in Yu Wo :D

And then there is the epilogue. Actually the most satisfying part of the book as it made me smile so damn much!

This has been a great end to this 8 volume adventure with the Sun Knight and his subordinates going through a multitude of circumstances.

This book focuses on Grisia being the Dragon King and his life as a villain by choice rather than by amnesia. It seems this life fits him, but deep down he cannot change his quirks and sense of humor. It comes down to Sun against the world, which he tries to protect from the dark element, but the world, aka the 12 Holy Knights keep wanting to chase him.

It's another heart-warming novel, however as I have said before, the novelty has worn off. Sun Knight being special due to his cunningness and compatibility to magic is tarnished, considering all of his magical abitilies are not special to him and his cunningness has really lessened in the last volumes. However, I will miss all of these good guys being all good!

Kết thúc một hành trình cùng "Mệnh kỵ sĩ" của tác giả yêu thích. Đúng là tác giả yêu thích nên đọc bộ nào cũng ưng, và đọc siêu nhanh. Hài hước nhưng vẫn đảm bảo tính logic, diễn biến, plot twist và đủ cung bậc cảm xúc xuyên suốt truyện. Buồn nhất là tác giả flop nên không có mùa xuân được thưởng thức phiên bản Việt của những bộ khác nữa 🥹🥹🥹

And it's finished. Even though I finished the volume some days ago I wanted to wait for the extra and epilogue, mostly because I did not want it to end.
I waited till the last volume to write something, mostly because I just wanted to write everything together.
I had a lot of time to think why I loved this novel so much, there were many others that I loved and could not put them down till the end, ones from authors that have a complex writing and sometime even more intense action.
There are also all the other novels from Yo Wo that I also like.
The first thing that I liked was the writing, it was simple, easy to read even after a busy day at work when I was too exhausted to bother with complicated books. But there are other books that also have that kind of writing.
There is also the action and the funny moments that just would not let me part with it.
One of the things that I really liked about this novel was the fact that it showed how are people underneath the mask they show most of the time. I don't know about you guys, but I don't know how many times I heard comments like you are a really "shy or good girl" from my colleagues at work. If they see me with my friends or after a few beers they will not think that ever again.
I think we all have that kind of masks, the one we show at work, the one we show to family and the real us that we only show to the people that we really care about. That is what I first liked in LSK.
But with time I came to realize that what I liked the most was Sun. No, I'm not talking about romantic stuff, I liked his personality and they way he did things and maybe I could find a part of me in him (a big part of me).
So the main reason why this is my absolute favorite novel is because of the Sun Knight. Now that I know that I also know that I will miss this novel more than I expected when I first started it.
I waited so much time for it to be translated and finish it, now that it is I feel kinda sad. If there will be a translated print of it in the future I will be one of the first ones to buy it, because I would love to see all 8 volumes on my shelves.
For the people that are still thinking is they should read this, you should definitely give it shot, it was an amazing story.
I just hope I can see Grisia in the 39 Legend of Sun Knight novel.

Đây là một trong những Fantasy Series mà mình thích nhất. Quả là một câu chuyện hài hước và một cái kết thật trọn vẹn cho những nhân vật của chúng ta. Mình tự hỏi, nếu như không có sự giúp đỡ của 11 thánh kỵ sĩ, chắc chắn Grisia sẽ dần dần bị nguyên tố bóng đêm ăn mòn rồi chết mà không ai hay. Tình đồng đội, tình bạn giữa họ thật đáng để người ta ngưỡng mộ xiết bao.

Mà cũng hay, Mệnh kỵ sĩ cũng lí giải vì sao Ma vương độc ác, điên cuồng như thế nhưng hiếm có người nào phản đối hoặc tiêu diệt hắn. Ma vương có sức mạnh vô song, có thể hấp thu nguyên tố bóng đêm để cân bằng lục địa. Sự ra đời của Ma vương vô cùng quan trọng, nếu không các quốc gia sẽ bị nguyên tố bóng đêm ăn mòn rồi bị hủy diệt. Cách lí giải này thật tài tình và hợp lí.

Ngự Ngã là một tác giả văn phong rất tài hoa, viết đến đâu có thể khiến mình cười đến đấy. Không chỉ có mình sự hề ỉ.a, bộ truyện còn mang đậm một sự khó xử khi phải đứng giữa hai lựa chọn vô cùng khó khăn, những suy nghĩ hy sinh bản thân vì người khác, tình cảm bạn bè,...

Mệnh kỵ sĩ xứng đáng là bộ truyện nổi tiếng và rất nên đọc.

Phải nói đây là bộ fantasy mình yêu thích nhất trong năm nay. Ai là fan của fantasy thì mình nghĩ nhất định phải thử đọc “Mệnh kỵ sĩ”. Series này được đánh giá hơn 4 sao trên Goodreads.
Mình biết đến “Mệnh kỵ sĩ” khá muộn. Tình cờ được bạn cho mượn đọc thì mình mới biết là có một bộ fantasy hay như thế mà mình lại chưa hề nghe đến. Lúc mình đi tìm mua thì tập 1 của series này không còn bán trên các sàn thương mại điện tử nên mình phải lặn lội lên các group bán sách cũ, và cuối cùng cũng tìm được người bán đủ bộ.

“Mệnh kỵ sĩ” là câu chuyện kể về cuộc sống và tình đồng đội của 12 thánh kỵ sĩ. Truyện được kể theo ngôi thứ nhất, đứng dưới góc nhìn của Sun Knight. Có hai điểm mình thích nhất ở series này:

- Truyện cực kì hài hước. Mình đảm bảo cho dù tâm trạng của bạn có đang chìm sâu trong hố đen tăm tối hay tuyệt vọng thế nào thì đọc bộ này xong không thể nhịn cười được. Văn phong của tác giả này vô cùng đặc biệt. Nó khiến độc giả đọc đến đâu cười đến đấy, đứng ở chỗ đông người thì đúng là khổ luôn (chắc tại đang đọc sách mà đột nhiên cười há há thì sợ mọi người nghĩ mình điên quá :))) Đọc nhiều truyện hài rồi nhưng đây là bộ fantasy duy nhất khiến mình cười mất kiểm soát như thế :))))

- “Mệnh kỵ sĩ” không chỉ đơn thuần là giải trí mà nó đem đến cho mình rất nhiều ý nghĩa về việc con người phải đeo lên một chiếc mặt nạ khác với tính cách bên trong, về khả năng lãnh đạo, về tình đồng đội, về đức tin, thậm chí là cả những sự thật đằng sau câu chuyện dũng sĩ giệt rồng, giải cứu công chúa, đánh bại ma vương,…

Ngoài ra thì hình thức truyện rất đẹp, bên trong được vẽ minh họa nhìn thích lắm.
Truyện rất dễ đọc, phù hợp với những ai yêu thích fantasy và khao khát có được những trận cười xả láng nhé.
