Title: Good fantasy fun
Product review: I have recently re-read this series and really enjoyed it. Although this series ties in with the Empire of the East you need not read it to enjoy the Swords books.This series is primarily good fantasy fun with a lot of action and some original ideas that kept me interested throughout the three books. Dont expect a lot of character development or full resolution of all the plot lines. What you can expect is a lot of fun and a few suprises as well as some very imaginative story devices.I view this series as a bit more novelized than the Conan series or Fafrd and the Grey Mouser books. Im somewhat reminded of the Elric saga but with more action and fun and less of the gloom and despair. Fans of Brust's Taltos series might like the Swords series also although the Swords series is more genre derived and defined.I gave the Swords trilogy four stars instead of five simply because I do not believe the series will have the staying power like that of Tolkien, Donaldson, Brooks etc....
