The Sword's Elegy (The Sorcerer's Song Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 40 ratings

The Sword's Elegy is the third book in a new epic fantasy trilogy from successful self-published author Brian D. Anderson, perfect for fans of The Wheel of Time and The Sword of Truth.

The doom of humankind has at last been realized. Belkar's prison is broken and his army is on the move. The nations of Lamoria, unaware of the greater danger, look to repel the aggression of Ralmarstad.

Mariyah and Lem, certain that only the magic of the Bards can save them, desperately search for that lost knowledge. But friends and allies are what they need to complete their task. And they are in short supply. For, while peril often brings out the best in us, it also brings out the worst.

In the end, it is not great power, terrible armies, or mighty warriors who will influence the course of fate. But two lovers and the unbreakable bond they share. All questions are answered. All mysteries revealed. And even Belkar will learn that fate, once tempted, cannot be denied.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Review

Praise for The Bard's Blade:

“Magic, music, assassinations, and betrayal . . . a successful mix of some of the finest elements of James Islington's
The Shadow of What Was Lost, Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, and Anderson's own Behind the Vale . . . everything fans of epic fantasy will be looking for on their next big adventure. Highly recommended.”―Grimdark Magazine

“One of the best books I've read this year . . . a true page-turner that delivers on all fronts.”―
BookNest

“Damn entertaining and engrossing . . . The alluring song that Anderson orchestrated with his words enchanted me, and I absolutely loved every second of reading
The Bard's Blade.”―Novel Notions

“Filled with twists and turns, likable characters, and rich worldbuilding. Natural pacing provides an equal mix of colorful descriptions, character development, and exciting action scenes.”―
Library Journal

“Ambitious, enjoyable . . . surprising twists [and] plenty to be explored in further installments.”―
Publishers Weekly

“Fantasy tale with magic, music, and a looming evil starts a new series that fans of Patrick Rothfuss'
The Name of the Wind will enjoy.”―Booklist

This was an amazing trilogy. Absolutely couldn't put this book down. I would love it if there are more stories about Lem planned, but I would be content if this was the last book.

It is hard to put my finger on why I am giving this 4 stars instead of five. It was a good end to a great series, and i enjoyed reading this book. Yet there was something lacking in this book that wasn't lacking in the other two Sorcerer's Song books. I think it was the overall flow, I felt like there was something lacking in Bard Magic. Still a great book and a fitting end to the series!

Great characters. World building was exceptional. Read the three book series non stop. Got a week to kill? I highly recommend diving into Brian's exciting and captivating world.

I have absolutely dreaded writing this review. It pains me so much that I almost didn’t. But I have never shied away from honest reviews, as I believe that brings a measure of authenticity that is important to a reviewer. So, here goes:

I was incredibly disappointed with this book.

I loved the first two books in the series. They were adventurous and whimsical, well-plotted fantasy stories. A perfect blend of story aspects that make me fawn.

Somewhere along the way, though, that adventure got lost, the magic faded, and this book plodded along slowly with an unsatisfactory ending.

One redeeming factor was the growth of Lem and Mariyah’s relationship. It was joyful to see two people that are so dedicated to one another that they would do anything for them.

I did like the themes present in the book: friendship, love, devotion, cooperation, good versus evil. But those themes were already present, and the characters didn’t need to be nerfed to accentuate them.

As much as I hate to say it, I did not enjoy the ending to this series. It does have a 4+ score on Goodreads, though, so I may be the only one. If you have read it, I would be curious to know yours.

Oh, well. Can’t win them all. As Jay-Z said: it’s onto the next one…
