5.0 out of 5 stars The first , and the best!, April 3, 1998

By A Customer

Six of Swords is actually the first book in a series of 5 fantasy novels about Irissa, a magical seeress, and Kendric, a typical "I wouldn't touch magic with a ten foot pole," sword-swinging type of guy. Unfortunately, the author appears to have switched publishers in the middle of the series. The third book, "Keepers of Edanvant" is labelled as book one of the "Sword and Circlet" series. If anyone has made the unfortunate mistake of picking up "Keepers of Edanvant" as I did, it quickly becomes obvious that certain necessary elements are missing. "Six of Swords" as well as "Exiles of the Rynth" supply those necessary elements. "Six of Swords" explains how Irissa and Kendric met one another as well as the evil wizard, who became their nemesis throughout the rest of the series. This is the story about how all of their adventures began. I found it in a book store after it was out of print; chances are you can find it too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Bad Bad, February 29, 2004

By	Book ObsessedTeen (Garden Grove, CA) - See all my reviews

Arlight, this was one of the worst books ever. I bought this book 2 years ago in a used book store and I started reading. I have been going through novels so quickly. I find a book mini if it's under 300 pages.

I have tried to read it about 3 times. The last time I made it *almost* to the end! It's...to put it simply 'boring to the point of sleeping' so, don't read it! It stinks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite series, June 19, 2005

By	Pam McDonald (South Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Six of Swords (Mass Market Paperback)

I was amazed to read the previous reviews for this book. I am an avid reader of fantasy novels, this book and the series is easily my favourite. It is not an easy read, and you do have to concentrate, but that is part of the attraction. I love the way she writes. It is very formal and I think is fitting with the imagined time-frame. My favourite line is "Now the only riddle I wish to unravel is the intricacies of your silken belt -". It is a beautifully written book, and I highly recommend it.
