Thank you for approving me for this title! However, I unfortunately was unable to download/read this book prior to it being archived on Netgalley. I hope to read and review this book on my own soon, and hope to read other books from this author and publisher. Thanks again!

Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to review the unique and miraculous world building of Fever Nights.

I love the comic art by Adam Ellis and have been following his work for awhile. I'm thrilled that his project, Fever Nights that used to just be creative posts on insta is going to be a full on book. Just proves that hard work and dedication can really pay off.

The unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements allows the characters to pop out in the mind as full animations. I love the colors, designs and wide range of abilities that give the reader a great understanding of the application usage for game play. Between the villain's, side characters, wildlife, and main characters, I was completely immersed in the world; to visualize this as an actual game is exciting. I'm extremely fond of games that challenge one's intellect, incorporating puzzles, mystery, and story into a wonderful mix that flows naturally.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in starting/building their own game world for future application. The breakdown of each character and the simple matrix of who they are and what they do in reference to the world makes comprehending what direction the story is supposed to go in much easier.

5/5 stars!

'Fever Knights' by Adam Ellis is a story told as a fake strategy guide for a game.

Finneus lives on Toro Island with his friends and just wants to surf, but weird things start happening and they are interested in solving things. Throughout this book, which plays like a strategy (or even RPG) guide, we learn about the heroes and enemies, the different terrain and character transformations and learn about Toro Island.

I like reading strategy guides, so this was a fun concept. I like what the author did here and had fun reading it.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

This was such a cool concept! I've never read any book that was structured as a strategy guide; other than a regular strategy guide. I really enjoyed reading through this even though it took me a little bit to get used to it. But once I did it really flew! It was so interesting to read all about every little detail and not get bored. If this had been a traditional book that described every single weapon that the characters came across in their adventures I would have been bored out of my mind. But seeing them along with the amazing illustrations was a blast! I will 100% be recommending this book to everyone that I know.

I've been following Adam Ellis for a long long time. I love his work.
When he first announced Fever Knights as a concept I was like "cool, but what is this?". After reading the game guide, I get it. And man do I wish this was a real game. I would play the heck out of it. Adam's artwork is always amazing, and it's clever. I may have been reading into it just a little bit too much, but for those who have followed him on instagram and listened to his podcast, I think there were a few easter eggs.
I also want to mention that I love the fact that Ciseaux uses they/them pronouns and it's not a big deal! I mean, there's no mention of their sexual identity, just the pronouns -- I loved how natural it felt reading their paragraph.

I'm so happy to have had the chance to pre-read Fever Knight. I will most definitely buy a copy and add it to the shelf with my other Adam Ellis books!

This was such a peculiar way of narration based on strategic guides. I had so much fun reading and seeing the beautiful art.
The quality of the file wasn't good so a few parts weren't legible but I can't fault the author for that. What I could read, I enjoyed and it was fun and different. I definitely recommend it.

Wow that was unexpected!

I loved the idea of an interactive role play kind of book with super detailed character descriptions and as usually beautiful, stunning artwork.
Adam Ellis is one of my favourite comic artists and he keeps to surprise me.

graphic fiction (fictional video game strategy guide) - questing adventure with a diverse cast that includes a couple of nonbinary characters

inspired by the strategy guides the author used to devour as a kid when he couldn't afford any video games, this is a fun little adventure book with tons of creative elements and kid appeal.

This was a fun read! I really liked the author's use of video game guides for his inspiration for the format. This sounds like and awesome video game. I bet lots of tweens/teens would play this game if it existed!

Fever Knights is complete with images and fantastic elements. An enjoyable visual reading experience.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

When I saw that Adam Ellis has a new graphic novel out, I knew that I had to read it right away! Fever Knights by Adam Ellis is an interesting book that takes the form of a fictional game guide. The story revolves around Finneus, who is involved in a mysterious accident at Starfish Beach. According to the description, the book is "structured like an old-school video game strategy guide" and filled with "vibrant comic illustrations, witty humor, richly detailed world building, and a fantastical cast of characters."

Overall, Fever Knights is a fantastic graphic novel that will appeal to fans of old-school game guides and the visuals of Netflix's Stranger Things. One highlight of this book is how the creator really stuck to the idea of replicating old-school game guides. I'm sure that they don't print game guides anymore (everything is online), so this is truly nostalgic and a throwback to relics of the past. I've been a fan of Adam Ellis's comics for a long time, but if I had to complain about 1 thing, I would say that I would have liked if there were more of a plot. As a fictional game guide, this is great, but this isn't really a graphic novel. if you're intrigued by the description, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in May!

I have been very excited to get my hands on this ever since seeing Adam's artwork for it on Instagram! It's a fun comic that is illustrated as a video game guide. I enjoyed all the characters, monsters, and items and it really made me wish this game was real!
