This was just what I needed to kickstart me into reading again. Everyone expects Seiji to be accepted to Exton, the top school for fencing but instead Nicholas is horrified to find that Seiji is also a student at Kings Row, just like he is….and in fact, they’re room mates.
He’s the (illegitimate) son of a former fencing champion and after he’s humiliated by a prodigy named Seiji Katayama he gains a scholarship to a school with dreams of facing Seiji again and beating him. Nicholas is a young fencer who has had limited training but exhibits a raw talent.
The format felt like something that would work. I’ve read her Captive Prince series and loved it so I thought I’d give this a go.
I was scrolling through different apps on my iPad, looking for something that appealed and I discovered this graphic novel series from C.S. They all felt like they belonged in the ‘too hard basket’ for now. I looked at all the books I had and just did not have the motivation to read any of them. But I found myself a lot more anxious than I thought and as a result, I didn’t pick up a book for days. I much prefer being at home to being out and when they made the decision to close the schools where I live, I thought it’d be fine. There’s a lot of jokes about how introverts have been preparing for this their whole lives and in a way, that’s applicable to me. You know, when it became likely that the coronavirus was going to be a really big deal and that there was going to be extreme measures needed to combat it, I wasn’t that worried about it. Through clashes, rivalries, and romance between teammates, Nicholas and the boys of Kings Row will discover there’s much more to fencing than just foils and lunges. After getting accepted to the prodigious Kings Row private school, Nicholas is thrust into a cut-throat world, and finds himself facing not only his golden-boy half-brother, but the unbeatable, mysterious Seiji Katayama… Nicholas, the illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion, is a scrappy fencing wunderkind, and dreams of getting the chance and the training to actually compete.
