I read the whole series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Novels Of Tiger And Del #3 Sword Maker (Paperback)
Last fall I did a search at the local library for books with the word "sword" in the title. I came across this series, and avoided it because book one was called "Sword Dancer". I finally succumbed, and made it through the first book.As a classical fencer, I found the whole "sword dancer" thing annoying. Actual swordfights are described with words like "curlicues". The whole "Hoolies" thing was annoying. The story is told from the story of an uneducated slave who won his freedom and spent years learning the sword and then hiring out to whomever had the cash. Yet he was really into describing fabrics and especially colors - maddened violet, or ochre, or whatever. Dozens of colors in a single paragraph. And yet there was just enough to keep me interested, and I read each of the last three books straight through, one a night, staying up into the wee hours of the morning to finish before I slept. It could have been a lot better - I'd love to see Dave Duncan get his hands on the stories and make all the sword fighting more believeable. But the books did hold my interest.

Crap! and CRAPPER!!,
By DeKraven (PHC, Nigeria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Novels Of Tiger And Del #3 Sword Maker (Paperback)
This absolutely sucked. I couldn't stand it. Right from the start I knew this was gonna be bad but I said, hey what the hell, let's give it go. Of course I should have listened to meself the first! I would not recomemed to pre-schoolers. J.Roberson should really give a rest. I give her a star for effort (grunt!!) but not much else.."Hoolies, my god those HOOLIES!!"

I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Novels Of Tiger And Del #3 Sword Maker (Paperback)
This is the story of a woman to be reconed with! The character, Del, is a woman I would love to be, but could never be. She is amazing, and so is her tale. Jennifer Roberson spun a tale that I still dream about.
