Title: An Enormously Satisfying Sequel!
Review: Just finished the book this morning. What a wonderful sequel to Swordspoint! I've missed the deliciously wicked, biting dialogue and impossibly twisted situations. The repartee and swordsplay make this book indulgent fun! Young Katherine Talbert is swept into the worlds of the Hill and Riverside by her uncle, the mad Duke Tremontaine. Lover and swordsman St. Vier is back too but not as you would expect! It is wonderful to see these familiar settings through Katherine's wide eyes. Ellen Kushner writes like a dream and the book is very very hard to put down for any length of time. Her "The Fall of the Kings" was great too... but this is the true sequel - the one we've been waiting for- for too long!
