The Desert and the Blade
(The Change #14)
by S.M. Stirling
fantasy, fansonly
copyright 2015
not read in November 2020
rated 4/10: bad but could be read
Okay, I only read perhaps ten pages. The prologue had some mad savage waiting in ambush, sounds like fun. Chapter one had a woman bemoaning the death of her father, fair enough. Except that it reminded her -- through a long and boring flashback -- of the long-ago death of her dog.
I have not met her father. I have not met her dog. Bo-o-oring.
As soon as I started chapter one I realised that I had read another book in the series. My review was harsh. This book -- from my very brief glimpses into the two books -- is not as bad as number ten in the series.
If you have read all thirteen books before this one then (a) you're tougher than I am and (b) you will, no doubt, enjoy this book. It is definitely for fans only.
