has anyone else read this?
or any of her other books?
neil gaiman mentioned he was a fan
on his blog so i decided to check her
out. altho not first in the series,
i could only find privilege of the sword
on the bookshelf.
i truly enjoyed it.
it was unlike any fantasy i'd read
before--no magic, no fantastic critters,
just a few swordplay scenes, lots of
great dialogue and political intrigue.
she really shows a writer how one
can have tension and conflict in a novel
without the "explosions".
anyway, i'd count swordspoint as one
of my favorite fantasy books now.
up their with le guin's earthsea series.
cindy p.a little sweet, a little sour.
