||
| − | Through a series of errors and misunderstandings, the hero of the book is accidentally signed up to participate in gladiatorial combat with the current champion—a huge barbarian. Over the course of the book, everyone tells the hero that he has no chance of beating the champion, and he tries to find a way out of the battle. However, the hero notices small clues over time and figures out that the champion has a heart problem. In the climactic battle, the hero runs around the outside of the arena until the barbarian dies of a heart attack.{{wob ref|16111}} |

| − | Brandon has described ''Knight Life'' as his attempt at a [[wikipedia:Robert Asprin|Bob Asprin]]-style adventure comedy that was "mostly cringe, with a little bit of actual comedy".{{wob ref|14248}} Some of the jokes were almost intentionally unfunny, such as the barbarian wielding a metal carrot instead of a sword. In retrospect, Brandon feels like many of the jokes did not work, although he likes the ending.{{wob ref|16111}} |

| − | ''Knight Life'' got shelved as the cosmere began to take shape,{{wob ref|7818}}{{wob ref|9618}} and Brandon has not mentioned any serious attempts to revive it. Bits of it got repurposed into the ''[[Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (series)|Alcatraz]]'' series.{{wob ref|9618}} |

| − | |||
| − | It is possible that ''Knight Life'' could be released in a future [[Dragonsteel Entertainment|Dragonsteel]] Kickstarter as part of the [[Sanderson Curiosities]] series. However, it is not close to the quality level of other early works like [[The Way of Kings Prime|''The Way of Kings'' Prime]], and it may be years before Brandon would consider publishing it.{{wob ref|14248}} |
