Sword edged blonde sounded much more <i>deadly</i> than blondes are normally portrayed.Carrie#Khttp://mymiddlenameispatience.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-40725795455405927212011-04-27T15:32:31.734-05:002011-04-27T15:32:31.734-05:00Fantasy mystery...eh, dunno if that is for meFantasy mystery...eh, dunno if that is for meBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-21443520172488698312011-04-27T14:46:26.807-05:002011-04-27T14:46:26.807-05:00I had gotten the Sword-Edge Blonde after reading s...I had gotten the Sword-Edge Blonde after reading so many rave reviews of it, and I have to say that I felt rather let down by it. It just didn't "wow"me the way it had expected to. By now it's been a while so I don't remember exactly what bothered me by I do remember having an issue with the way magic is used, particularly in the end, where it's conveniently whipped out to offer a solution to the mystery, while until then it had been pretty much left out. And the modern names also bothered me because they kept distracting me from the story.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-3550796808297615962011-04-27T12:30:47.863-05:002011-04-27T12:30:47.863-05:00This sounds interesting.

I haven't read any books in this genre, but I am intrigued by this one after having read your description and thoughts. It seems like it's got a lot of heft, and the fact that the main character is so likable really entices me. Thanks for the great review Aarti. This one is also going on my list!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
