About this listen
He longs to be a knight. A drastic invasion destroys his home. Will a childish dream be enough to save the ones he loves?
Eager to escape his suffocating life, Jahrys Grent trains daily to fulfill his dream of becoming a knight. But he gets more than he bargained for when mysterious invaders attack and destroy his home. Trapped outside the castle walls, Jahrys uses his knightly instincts to survive in the hope of seeing the ones he loves again.
Anguished and betrayed, he joins the Retrievers—a rebel group designed to locate supplies for inhabitants of the castle. After learning of a secret mission that could grant him his dream, he doesn’t hesitate to pursue it. But things are not as they seem, and the danger he faces makes him realize there’s only one way to save his home from the dark sorcery that plagues it: Give up his road to knighthood, and rise up to become something far greater.
It's kill or be killed out in the Junkland. Has Jahrys’s childhood dream prepared him for the darkness to come?
If you are a lover of fairy tales with heroic knights and rebellious princesses, then pick up your copy of Junkland today, and find out if every fairy tale ends with a happily ever after.

But let's get started on the story:
It is clear that this is a debut book. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that there is still room for improvement in the pace, different pov's and writing. Which I'm sure the author will improve upon in his next books 🤗
This book has several POV's which I always love. Although I have to admit that in some spots the extra POV's weren't really necessary, and in some spots where I really wanted another one, I didn't get one. The author most likely has his reasons for this, but it still made the story a tad repetive sometimes.
The story line itself and the concept was absolutely amazing! I had never thought of Medieval dystopian, and I'm absolutely here for it! It fit perfectly! Although in the beginning we did get a big info dumb (which is not unusual for fantasy books)
All in all, not a bad book, especially for a debut one! I can't wait to see the author's next work
I had my doubts, but the ending made up for it
