ellenkushnerThanks to Cat (another spy? or just a canny editor) over at The Green Man Review, you can get a sneak peek at the The Privilege of the Sword review that goes up officially on August 13th!
It's more than a good (i.e. positive) review - it's a Good review: manages a solid plot rundown without spoilers, picking up on a lot of the threads I thought were important.
I will say no more, because reviewing reviewers is not really my job, nor is it entirely courteous, I think, in authors to do so. But I am so glad Mr. Tilendis liked the book so much! Who could resist the allure of his final line?:
If Swordspoint is a perfect gem, The Privilege of the Sword is the gem in its full setting: elegant, wicked, funny, intelligent, and fluent.
