A fun storytelling style: The Last Knight by Hilari Bell switches first person perspective between the two main characters. The one negative in this story is the language. Although there are many words created especially for her universe, Bell does not create any curse words, and instead uses those known in this universe. Sadly, it jarred me out of the story each time her characters used them.
Nutshell: Although knights are two centuries past, self-proclaimed Sir Michel and his reluctant squire Fisk are duped into helping a murderess escape justice. They are ordered to recapture her, otherwise they will be cast out as unredeemed. Their quest leads them on dangerous adventures and to an interesting conclusion.
