The Sword of Death was forged to aid in the merging between the realm of the living and the dead. The Sword of Life was forged to balance the powers and save the world by stopping the merging. The Swords have been lost and unknown to mankind for thousands of years. They will be known once more with the birth of a child, a child with the ability to part the veil between realms, making him the perfect choice as the new bearer of the Sword of Death. One man will fight to keep his humanity while being forced to kill others to maintain his unnatural existence. He will feel regret and remorse for the lives he takes but will continue to condemn the unfortunate souls that cross his path. The other sees mercy as a weakness and will do whatever necessary to acquire what he wants. He will plunge a powerful kingdom into ruin to build an army of the likes that has not been seen in a thousand years. The prophecy has been foretold but the path not chosen. As in life, it is not always black or white, good or evil but a gray. So it begins...

the price is too high,
By "jmagi" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Price of Immortality: Swords of Life and Death (Paperback)
I'm a long time fan of fantasy. I appreciate Jordan and most recently George R.R. Martiin. After reading the positive reviews I was very disappointed with this book. I generally criticize authors when they put in too much description but this book was just the opposite: it was like reading a Cliff Notes of a gigantic fantasy novel. Needless to say it was a great story-severely hampered by poor writing. I don't usually have a problem with profanity but it's use in this novel seemed gratutitous given the lack of adult depth in any of the characters.Sadly I cannot recommend this book at all. It was a waste of time.

disappointed...,

This review is from: The Price of Immortality: Swords of Life and Death (Paperback)
I only bought this book because of the rave reviews I saw for it. I'm not even half way thru this book and I'm already regreting buying it. I came back here to warn others away, when low and behold (after I buy the book...), I see horrible reviews for it. This book was obviously written by a first time author and maybe later on he'll write great books, but this isn't one of them. The actual storyline/plot is great but the story-telling is done horribly. One of my major pet peeves in a book is a bad job of editing. I lost interest when right off the bat, I saw typo city. Anyway, I could go on and on but I'd just be repeating Ken's review. He hit it all right on the nose. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK

do not waste your time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Price of Immortality: Swords of Life and Death (Paperback)
The prelude to this story seemed fascinating--until I startedreading the rest of the book. I threw it down after page 50. Although I admired Mr. Whitlock's concept of a sword and its control over the main character, I felt the story lacked the quality and style of writing which would allow some kind of cohesiveness and flow to a story. I would recommend you read Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy to see what I mean in terms of reading a story that just "flows" and sinks its teeth in your imagination!
