The labyrinth calls, and is answered by adventurers, profiteers, and anyone looking to make a quick buck. And in this town inhabited by the dregs of society live a man, and the woman who owns him. Arwen, the Princess knight with lofty dreams of restoring her homeland-and Matthew, the town drunk. As Arwen challenges the labyrinth, Matthew spends his days in taverns and brothels living off the money he gets from her. But the town laughingstock has a side that no one knows about. In service of Arwen, Matthew would do anything-no matter how dirty he might get.
Overall, I feel quite mixed on this first volume of The Kept Man of the Princess Knight. Its a struggle to get into things at the start with it feeling quite brash and edgy alongside a protagonist that never really shines in the best light, yet it does mellow out with some good action scenes, as well as building in some lore and mystery as it closes out. I feel like it needs more time to pin itself down on its overall tone, for if it can get its balance right it has the potential to become a decent dark and gritty action series. Read Full Review
