    This Western fantasy novel is absolutely amazing! The story of a cowardly boy's rise to power is thrilling! If you're a fan of Western fantasy but can't find a novel that balances a grand world-building with a realistic sense of growth, then *Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight* is a must-read. It uses the clash of swords and magic, the confrontation between divine authority and rebellion to write an epic tale of a cowardly boy that is both tragic and exhilarating. A world where divine authority has collapsed: even survival requires a desperate struggle. The novel immediately establishes a sense of despair: the thousand-year-old covenant tacitly approved by the Creator God has shattered; the God of Light and the God of Darkness fight fiercely for divine power. The gods have no regard for the lives of all races, treating humanity only as "tools to replenish their divine power." Some grovel before the altar of Light, hoping for a way out, only to become puppets at the mercy of others; some escape into darkness, only to become bloodthirsty henchmen; and many more eke out a living in the cracks, fearing even the slightest breath could bring death. Only Sen and Seven Stars, the exiles branded with the "Demon Water," dared to harbor even a flicker of resistance. Chased relentlessly by Lucifer through the void, they were saved from utter annihilation by Athena's protection, only to discover a crueler truth in their deepest despair: the so-called war between gods and demons was nothing more than a "blood feast" kept by the gods, with humanity not even worthy of being a part of it. When Sen gripped his rusty, nearly crumbling sword, and Seven Stars' blood seeped into the prophetic star map, this futile resistance instantly evoked the tragic grandeur of the hobbits' incursion into Mordor in *The Lord of the Rings*—trembling with fear, yet determined to fight against divine authority. This courage of "knowing it's impossible but doing it anyway" is more poignant than innate strength. The growth of a cowardly youth: fear, yet never stopping. The protagonist, Sen Helkin, completely shatters the "hero template." He was the blacksmith's son of Sunset Castle, so timid that he bowed before nobles and his legs went weak when chased by monsters, yet he harbored two "out-of-place" dreams: to become the guardian knight of the Holy Light Saintess, Nia, and to secretly love the Ice Moon Princess. This "softness within cowardice" made him seem like an "ordinary person who wandered onto the wrong set" at first glance. Until he entered Holy Mountain Academy, his...
