The White Stag
Win and become the King. Lose your armor, lose your life. A kingdom in chaos, and countless men dead. When Cypress emerges from her village in the forest to seek her fate in the outside lands, she doesn't bargain on becoming part of the realm's politics with the Knight's Game. Twelve men were chosen for the Game, each with his own symbol, and the last one standing becomes the next King. One man wears the sigil of the white stag, an unearthly being from Cypress' own forest, that draws her into a world she never dreamed of. But when Cypress comes face to face with her spitting image, the father she never knew, she joins the Game to ensure his tyranny will not become law, all while hiding a secret that could get her killed - that she's a woman.

I received a free copy from the author in order for a honest review, here I go:
The White Stag when rated, can be found at the top of My list as the best fantasy fiction ever written and for this I must give a huge round of applause to Linden Flynn for a Job well done.
To start things off there where two things that brought this book to life:
1.Creativity
2. An a amazing plot
In the beginning of the book, we were all blessed with the birth of a beautiful baby girl by the name of Cypress. Cypress to me is a combination of Mulan and Katniss Evergreen from Hunger Games. These two characters are and will always be my favorite because they both are determine and independent ladies and it is because of Flynn that I can now place Cypress as one too. Cypress ladies and gentlemen is a hunter and quite an excellent one, She grew up in a village filled with women and therefore this is where she acquired her independence because she was one of the females that provided for her village. Cypress can be an example to all women because she is amazing and awesome in every way possible.
Rite now I really wish I could state all my favorite parts but that would be like saying the whole book...ughhhh....
Ladies and Gentlemen when I say this is a book to read ........IT IS!!!..
To continue on there was also another character that I loved and her name is Hazel....hazel grew up in the village with Cypress and these two are just like sisters...Hazel is smart ,shy, and the best person ever to accompany Cypress out of the village.... It is with these two totally opposite personalities that these two ladies make an amazing team....(Oh the love for this book)..
Further on, in this book you will follow along with cypress and hazel as they learn new things and see things that they have never seen before.....being new to basically every thing it is soo funny to read this book. Imagine going to a country and being in awe at all things and then being confused at some because you have never seen it before, well this was how cypress and hazel journey basically turned out.....what an amazing experience...
I don't know why I keep saying amazing......it might just be because this book really was.
Anyways, go and read and find out for your self.. :)
Everyone has there own opinion...hope its like mine..
Readable for all ages..... :P

I had four major beefs with this book.
#1 Major Beef
I didn’t get enough description. I really couldn’t tell you what half the characters looked like or even how old they were by the end of the book. Some of the characters seemed to switch ages on me all the time. One minute they would seem like they were 10 and then POOF they’re 16 POOF they’re 40.
They were acting like they were 6 and then KABOOM (I got tired of POOF) forty year old vocal whiz in the room.
#2 Major Beef
Too little surprise. The plot was cliche at best. I could tell you (almost) how everything would end up in the end. It’s your typical I-want-to-write-a-knights-and-castles-book, action filled, unrealistic plot. It was action-packed, almost to the point of being rushed, but the plot will hold your attention. You want to find out what will happen (even though you think you know), but once you’re finished, you realize that it really wasn’t that fantastic. Nothing exceptional, but it wasn’t AWFUL.
#3 Major Beef
Unnecessary/Premature deaths that weren’t well enough explained. People murdered/maimed/poked eyes out left and right with no consequences, no moral strain, no emotion. Cypress was almost Spock when she turned into a ninja assassin and started killing the “bad” guys. Plus, fun, FANTASTIC characters that I actually liked got the ax without a second thought. We didn’t even get to be with them for more than a hundred pages before they hit the dirt, went six feet under, kicked the bucket. No. Just no.
WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TOGETHER.
#4 Major Beef
Too much feminism. I know that we all like a dash of girls-can-do-anything with our YA, but I hate for the amount of feminism in a novel to hit me over the head with a sledgehammer. To be honest, I found it a bit unrealistic. Most of the men that Cypress comes in to contact with believe from the start that she would be a great king or at least get to that opinion within about, 50 pages or so. The rest are evil monsters.
Cypress repeatedly criticizes people for wanting to save her from harm because “she’s a girl” when, in actuality, she needs saving and they’re trying to do what’s best for her. So, a touch of girl power is fantastic, but when it starts to overwhelm the plot and jumps up and down, screaming to get you to notice, it gets to be too much for me.
Even with my major beefs, I really didn’t hate The White Stag. Sure it was a bit cliche, but the writing wasn’t that bad. Some of the characters were very well done such as Hazel and maybe Rowan (I’m still deciding). Hazel was by far my favorite character in the book, mainly because she was the only one with much common sense. She doesn’t end up too well in the end because of Cypress and I may or may not have started making angry faces at her for hurting my poor little Hazel.
I started to get the sense of a romance coming up at the end of the book, but I couldn’t tell if it was actual “twoo wuv” or if it was just two good friends hugging a lot and going out to look at the stars together. Either way, it made me giggly and happy. I have a feeling that it will be developed more in the next book, which might be one of the only reasons why I would decide to read it.
So, in the end, I’m not even sure I would categorize this one as a YA book. It’s about teenagers, sure, but it reads like a middle grade novel and I think that it might be best for a little younger of an audience. I would give it a resounding C+, certainly not awful, especially for a debut novel, but it does have a few problems that could be fixed. ~The Red Queen

Although strongly resembling a medieval version of the The Hunger Games, The White Stag still manages to create a memorable heroine with the tough and sassy, Cypress. Thrusted into the clutches of the Knight's Game, Cypress is forced to navigate herself in dangerous terrain and difficult decisions are made...
You have to give props to Flynn for coming up with an enjoyable story despite all the competition in the genre. Despite the rather lacklustre fantasy world and the occasional time gaps in the story, the ending of The White Stag and the symbolism of it all is enough to give this book a try.
Written with an earnest and passionate hand, The White Stag introduces a budding and enthusiastic writer into the literary scene with an engaging debut. Recommended!
4 stars

I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank Linden Flynn, author of The White Stag, for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
I really enjoyed this book a lot. It has a unique plot and the set up was really remarkable and I loved the fully developed characters that flourished throughout the book and brought out various colors of their true characters for the readers. Cypress was the star character for me as she was filled with confidence and was in control of her bearings, she has the strength o stand up against the men of the society and the courage to disguise her true gender. I love fighter and kick-ass heroines and the author presented me with a mesmerizing and totally adorable protagonist and I’m glad that I signed up for this awesome read.
The other characters are also great but Cypress outshone the others for me. The story line is unique and a fresh and new take on the fantasy fiction genre which I loved. It is fast-paced and wrapped up in power-packed action scenes which made the read an interesting one. The writing style of the author is really good and the use of some skilled words made the story an enriched one. The tension that the author gave her readers was really breath-taking and I was thinking that what will happen when the big secret about her gender gets revealed? Well it is an awesome read and I would definitely recommend it to ya all and hope that you guys will love it as well.

The White Stag is a good old fashioned fantasy that should appeal to fans of Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness series. Although it sounds similar, it takes a much more original route. It's like a meeting of Tamora Pierce and The Hunger Games, and it works.
The characters are the strongest point, with Cypress being a wonderful leading lady. Her friendship with Hazel is a breath of fresh air in a genre full of tired frenemy relationships between teenage girls. I also liked the pirate captain who comes in later in the book to help Cypress on her journey.
Although there were a few small issues, such as the pacing lagging in some parts. On the whole the book kept me interested, but there was one spot in the middle and near the end where I was wanting it to pick up a bit. And I'm not certain how logical or how well it works to have Cypress meet the other contestants in a disguise before she enters the game properly, especially considering that if anyone recognizes her, they could use that information to get her disqualified.
Over all, though, I was very satisfied with this book and I'm very interested in seeing where the next one goes, especially given where we leave Cypress at the end of this one.

An excellent breakout novel, The White Stag embodies the best of YA fantasy and challenges traditional gender roles while taking us on an exciting and action-packed journey against evil. With a stubborn and gloriously flawed main character, Flynn transports the reader to a medieval world through the eyes of a young girl in way over her head.
By the end, Cypress has found her place in a previously alien world - and has grown from a frightened girl into a strong and confident young woman.

3 1/2 Stars for The White Stag
I was provided a copy of this book through Goodreads’ READ AND REVIEW program in exchange for my fair and honest review. I thank the author for this opportunity.
In The White Stag, we are introduced to Cypress, a young woman who was rescued by Hortensia minutes after her birth, to be raised in a village of all women. Cypress is favored by Hortensia, but it has come time for Cypress to leave the village—with the intention that she will—as does each young woman in her time—return “with child.” Cypress will accompany her good friend, Hazel, on this journey to a world never before known to them—a world that includes—men.
There is a “game” going on in the land. A game of treachery, deceit and danger, as a group of knights fight for the right to become king. When Cypress, the best hunter amongst her peers, leaves the village of her childhood days, she and Hazel make their way to a fortress. The adventure unfolds and eventually, we find Cypress take up the armor of one of the knights before her. In doing so, she becomes Cyrus Kingsworth. Cypress/Cyrus’s immediate goal: to take down the man she believes to be her father, a man who seeks Cypress’s own life. Her ultimate goal: to be the last knight standing. Her prize: the kingship.
Flynn did a great job of creating a truly unique, fantasy world—a world YA readers are sure to enjoy. I appreciated that the story did not come along with a love triangle or the all-too-common “insta-love.” Having said that, however, I did have some reservations about some of the relationships. That is, it seemed to me that at times, Cypress felt very close to Rowan, and then, just a few sentences later, would be at odds with him—without any particular reason that I could make out. Likewise, Cypress and Hazel were deemed to be friends as close as sisters, but I confess that I did not “feel” the closeness of their relationship. I also was a bit confused about why the driving force for Cypress (in the game) seemed to be to take down the man she thought to be her father. That fact seemed to motivate Cypress more than the fact that Blackmore was a genuine villain. Even so, I appreciated Flynn’s attention to the detail of this world, the knights themselves, the pirates, and so forth.
Flynn dedicates this work “to those who always said I could. And those who always said I couldn’t.” Flynn definitely could—and did. Well done!

I was provided a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
The White Stag (A Knight’s Game #1) by Linden Flynn: Hidden away from the outside world, Cypress grows up in the forest hunting, but now must go out into said world for her rite of passage. Learning the truth of her past and family while confronting her future has made this young forest gal into a noble knight and king. This YA Fantasy will take you on the ride of your life!
Being thrust into the world of knights and pirates, Cypress handles it rather well. This young woman leaves her village to experience the world and ends up becoming a knight and befriending the most unlikely of people. Along with Rowan the spunkly copper haired boy who she often fights with, Harland the pirate with the heart of gold, and many others Cypress fights her way thru the competition.
Linden Flynn has created a magical world that is a cross between The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones, but it works so well. It’s the best of both worlds and yet it’s something so much more. I just couldn’t put this book down. It had everything… humor, suspense, murder and mystery, and the fighting! Oh ya. I loved Cypress’ fights with Dirk and Alistair, her witty banter with Harland and even the touching moments in between. I especially thought mad old Nikolaas was a fun.
Can’t wait for #2 come out! Long live King Cypress Blackmore!

What a fun book this was. Cypress, our heroine, is very engaging, and the world that has been created in this book is such a blast to read about. The concept of the Game (and Cypress's participation in it) is beautifully done - but even better, the various parts of the world we visit in this first book in the series are all fascinating to read about. Cypress's home culture in the forest is unique, a world of all women who go out into the world and return to the forest with a daughter. The pirate city of Portsley was also a delight to read about.
The pace of this book is very fast, and the story flies by as you read, and keeps you engaged the whole time.
All in all, a great, very fun, very lovely read.

There's a certain point in the book where you know there's no going back. That's it, you're doomed. Suddenly you need to read the whole thing in one sitting. From start to finish, the White Stag is a compelling adventure about politics, love, and growing up.
At first I was a little worried about the premise of a female protagonist dressing up as a man, but it was handled gracefully. In the end we wind up with a pretty sweet nonbinary hero.
Strong political commentary combined with fantasy elements and a queer protagonist makes this one a winner in my book!

Loved this story on knights.
Although a standard theme of girl posing as boy to fight for kingdom and glory, it was told well with its own fresh take.
I enjoyed watching the main character grow and transform into a hero. She encountered struggles and twists and turns during her journey that made this read engaging.
I felt that this was a good standalone story even though it is set to be part of a series.

I dearly wanted to love this book. The plot's a bit tired, but still interesting. The characters are decent. The pacing is nice. Lady knights are awesome.
But the writing is bare-bones and uninspired. I felt incredibly distant from events and characters. Everyone sounded the same. It was soulless and brief.
Side note: You bear a child.
