Saberhagen gives up on an overarching plot for Lost Swords
The tantalizing hints concerning some sort of overplot for the Lost Swords are here abandoned, as Saberhagen abandons any pretense of writing novels that aren't self-contained.

Saberhagen gives up on an overarching plot for Lost Swords,
By Prose reader (Upstate New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sixth Book of Lost Swords: Mindsword's Story (Hardcover)
The tantalizing hints concerning some sort of overplot for the Lost Swords are here abandoned, as Saberhagen abandons any pretense of writing novels that aren't self-contained.It's a passing good story, well written and interesting, as per usual Saberhagen, but the slippery slope of events that gets the main plot going is weaker than readers familiar with Mr. Saberhagen have come to expect. The story involves Prince Murat (from the 1st book of Lost swords), and his failed attempt to bring the Mindsword to Princess Kristin as a gesture of friendship. The bad guy is the former Dark King, Vilkata, who we last saw fifteen years earlier, being cast into a snowy mountain abyss by Vulcan, after having lost his eyesight, magic, and wits.

Worth a read,

This review is from: The Sixth Book of Lost Swords: Mindsword's Story (Mass Market Paperback)
Not the first book in the wonderful Book of Sword series I would suggest, if your alread in the series it keeps the story going. Previous books in the Lost Book of Swords are better, after reading I got the impression Fred Saberhagen was ready to finish off the series.
