Book Reviews of The Fifty Year Sword
Book Review: Great story, but not worth $250 or $127.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great story, but it's unfair MZD fans cannot own it without spitting out a great deal of money in order to own it. Hopefully there will be a reprint in the future. Below you will find a short summary of the book. If you are a hard die fan and have money to waste then go ahead and buy it. If you are a fan but have bills to pay then please enjoy the summary.
The story takes place at a woman's birthday party in a foster home. A storyteller is invited by the social worker to entertain the orphans. He brings with him a long, black box. The storyteller entertains the orphans by explaining his adventures of getting what's inside the box. He went to a person who makes special swords, and he left with T50YS [The Fifty Year Sword]. He then opens the box, revealing a seemingly bladeless sword, and he waves it in the air at the candles. The woman, for whom the 50th birthday party is, gets annoyed at the storyteller and tells the children it really is just a sword handle with no blade. She takes T50YS, waves it around at herself, and leaves to go outside. At midnight on her 50th birthday, she dies.
