Book Reviews of Sword-Dancer (Tiger and Del)
Book Review: Legendary Sword Dancer Meets his Match
Summary: 5 Stars
Tiger and Del in this Sword Dancer series is a tale about two exceptional warriors having no respect for each other except for each other's prowess with the sword. This first book in the series begins with Del hiring Tiger, a living legend among swordsmen, to aid her as a guide in the deserts of the south as she searches for her brother. She is from the wintery north where swords are magically bound to its user. She has sworn to find and free her brother from slavery, and also to kill the slavers. In the course of their adventures animosity and mutual condescension becomes grudging respect, and, possibly, friendship. Of course there are lots of sword dancing, conventional battles, and confrontations with magic that will have you spinning through the pages and enjoying the thrilling ride.
Jennifer Roberson crafts exciting adventures that just happens to have fully developed main characters who you will grow to know like old friends. This book is different from novels where the emphasis is on either character relationships OR adventure. The stories of Tiger and Del balance both to the satisfaction for all readers. The story is told in the voice of Tiger. Some will love him, other readers will find him too full of himself. Yet, he is engaging, and too charming to resist the tale.
I have read the entire series and enjoy returning to the stories. If this is your first introduction to the author, Jennifer Roberson, you could not start at a better place.
Summary of Sword-Dancer (Tiger and Del)
Exiled from both the North and the South, Southron sword-dancer Tiger and Northern sword-singer Del have set sail to search for Tiger's homeland. But no journey is ever without complications for Tiger and Del. Shipwrecked, nearly drowned, abducted by pirates, bedeviled by magic and those who would use the pair to their own ends, the two finally do arrive at their destination. But before their quest is over, Tiger must face a truth about himself which may prove more dangerous than any sword-dance.Literature & Fiction Books
