Product Description

From Library Journal

Bound by oath to each other and to the Goddess, the swordswoman Tarma and the wizard Kethry begin a joint career as mercenaries in the constant struggle for justice in a land where demons come in human and not-so-human forms. The author of the "Heroes of Valdemar" trilogy begins a new series involving a pair of likeable, savvy heroines. Sword and sorcery with warmth and humor make this a story that will appeal to most fantasy fans. JC

Ingram

Tarma witnessed her clan's murder and, swearing vengeance, became a master warrior. Kethry fled her forced "marriage" and became an adept--pledging her power to the greatest good. When Kethry obtains a magical sword which draws her to others in need, the two vow to avenge the wrongs done to womanhood. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Weak start, better in the middle, repetitive, Juil 7 2004

Par Un client

This review is from: Vows And Honor #1 Oathbound (Mass Market Paperback)

Her literary device in this particular book is not really the Lackey I'm used to. The book starts off very slow, which would be ok, if the middle of the book wasn't clogged and slowed down with a complete (far too detailed) recount of the beginning. She goes into such detail (specifically with the tales told to the priest) that you could start the book there and miss litte. Her character descriptions get old quickly, repeated use of similar descriptions over and over are all over the place. In fear of being too picky, I might mention there are many issues with her writing at the core, things like the word "contrived" used to describe the familiar, then used again in the very next sentance as dialogue from a character. Ok for die-hard fans, but I wouldn't suggest it as a start to anyone new to Lackey.

This review is from: Vows And Honor #1 Oathbound (Mass Market Paperback)

Tarma is a shin'a'nin sword sworn. This means that she has dedicated her life to the goddess in hope of saving her clan, which was all but wiped out years before. Kethry is a noble born sorceress who, after fleeing a forced marriage, has become a blood sister to Tarma and is intent on helping her bring her clan to life again. Unfortunately this is easier said then done. Traveling as freelance mercenaries, Tarma and Kethry move from town to town in hope of work to help them make money. But when they find work it is far from simple. And when they can't find work trouble still seems to find them. Kethry carries the magical sword Need, that is made for a woman only to fight with and will never harm a woman. And when Need feels a woman in trouble it immediately rushed off to save her, dragging Kethry and her blood sister around behind them. What kind of adventures will they face?

Having already read seven other Valdemar books, I was very excited to pick this one up. Like many of Mercedes Lackey's other earlier books, it's filled with a real energy that just makes Tarma and Kethry's adventures just thrilling. The characters of Tarma and Kethry are strong and exciting. You can tell that they really have a strong bond with each other. I can't wait to read the other Vows and Honors book and the short story collection that goes along with it. The only problem I had with it has to do with the fact that although this is the fist Tarma and Kethry book, it starts very much int he middle of their story. The first Tarma and Kethry story is a short story in a separate anthology, one that I haven't read. Although Mercedes Lackey does a good job of explaining what happened in the past I would have liked it a lot more if I had actually got to read the story that happened before hand. It really sounds interesting. But beyond that I really liked this story and I know that any fans of Valdemar will love it too.

It's amazing, lol. I loved all the tid-bit of words in Tarma's native tounge. It has an excellent plot and the book just keeps getting better as you read on. For those people who didnt give this book 5 stars, you need to re-read this book and find out what you missed, because you must not have gotten it all. One of the best book ever written along with all the rest of the Valdemar books. makes me wish I could travel to valdemar!

This should be read with a copy of _Oathblood_ (see my review) handy, because it occurs after "Sword-Sworn", in which Tarma and Kethry first met. Read more
