FanficRecs AJC46's review
A great read one of the better code geass fics in the vein of the premise Lelouch Of Britannia the few OC present are well done and avoid a major pet peeve i have "standing out and overshadowing the official chars" especially Lelouch's arranged wife Abigail as of late has gotten some character development that makes her a more likable character in story at least for Lelouch also her interactions with C.C are just hilarious due to a early misunderstanding.
FanficRecs TheLastChronicler's review
The trouble with Dauntless is that the main themes in the series (so far) are not the author's greatest strengths. The politics and military warfare are obviously being written by someone who doesn't understand them terribly well. Charles deciding to send Lelouch off to Boot Camp doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as aristocrats generally believed common soldiers was a peasant's job. Likewise, Lelouch managing to capture a heavily fortified position with a handful of knightmares, which Cornelia couldn't do with an entire army, tends to stretch belief just a little too far. It seems like the author borrowed many of the ideas from Lelouch of Britannia, and then made numerous small changes to it to make it distinct, even though the plot tends to suffer as a result. On the other hand, the author seems to be updating fairly quickly now, so any readers who do enjoy the fic will get a lot of it.
