Batman gets replaced. And his replacement has another phylosophy that some dislike. Personnaly I think that's what makes Knightquest interresting to read. Because it's different and new.
To me Chuck Dixon is one of the top Batman writters and his run renewed Batman.
If you are going to read it, there is one prelude you should absolutly ready before, it's Batman: Sword of Azrael. Otherwise you don't really get who/what is Jean-Paul Valley.
Also you must get the New edition, it's more complete. Well it has stories the previous editions didn't have. And stories that I think are very good and fresh.
Such as Knightquest: The Search in volume 2 where Bruce and Alfred go investigate in Ireland.
I don't understand why they didn't divide the Saga into 3 parts with one being the Prelude.
Do get it, I really enjoyed it better than Scott Snyder 's or Tom King's runs (well Tom King has a few very good chapters).
