Sword-Maker (Tiger and Del Book 3)

It is difficult for me to be objective about a novel when it is in a series I love. So I no longer try for objectivity.I point out the good and hope for the best. In this case I can be honest and still hand out a 5 star rating.Recently Jennifer Roberson's SWORD DANCER series was digitized and I downloaded it on my Kndle Fire. At first, only Sword Dancer was avalaible. So I hounded the publisher (ok a bunch of fans did) and now we have the complete series available.SWORD MAKER continues the story of The SandTiger, 7th and highest level sword dancer in the sands of the south. But Tiger isn't in the south right now. He finds himself in the cold North, where a sword has a personality and is filled with magic. Tiger and magic do not mix well and Tiger has a Jivatma, a magic-filled sword with a mind of its own. He left Del laying in a pool of blood with a mortal wound in Sword Singer. What will the Sandtiger do without Del, the blond haired beautiful An-Kaidan swordmaster of the north? What magic is the cause of the disappearance of northern sword dancers? Seriously: READ THIS INCREDIBLY WRITTEN BOOK!!! Read the whole series, you will be very glad you did

It was a good experince

The stories are really all from Tiger's view on things. But clearly his opinions evolve as his life with the "northern basha" goes forward. This series on Dell and Tiger is among my most favorite.

This book and this series bring me back to my adolescence. I must have read them 15-20 times. They are so good.

Excellent development of the characters and dialogue
