Title: Starts slow but ends strong
Review: The first part of the book seems a little detached...it isn't until the second part of the book begins that I found the book to have some real merit. The Sword take a traditional fantasy approach with eldin (elves), humans and dwarves, though the author does add her own twist to how these races mingle and what powers they utilize.She does a good job of bringing out the personalities of her characters, though they were sometimes RIGID in their roles and therefore somewhat predictable in their reactions to circumstances. And the author's use of religion and race as a force to drive the characters into a storyline was interesting, though not overly done. Don't get me wrong, the book is great, I just saw some minor things that bugged me just a little.And I did like the spin of the overall story enough to purchase the next book in the sequel. A good one to read.
