I remember really enjoying this book and the series it belongs to once upon a time. I couldn't even make it past the first chapter this time around though. The prose was painful and the frequency with which Tiger swore with the phrase "Hoolies!" grated on my nerves after only three pages. I remember the word being over used, but I did not remember it being three or four times a page like it was here. I had the next book Sword-Beaker sitting in the wings for after I finished this, but now they ar...more
I have the same feelings about all the Tiger and Del books and so I will use the same review for them all:
Please look for my review of Sword-Dancer (Tiger and Del #1) to see why I liked these books so much.

I literally just finished and am in no state to write a proper review. However, I must say, Sword-Maker is the best so far and I tried to savor every word of it. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

Sometimes the dialogue is repetitive, but I love the action, both magical as well as sword-play. My only complaint is that the first part of the book dragged at bit, but I'm glad I hung in there because by the time I'd reached the final chapters of the story I was on the edge of my seat!
Looking forward to book #4.

Wonderful book, though a bit drawn-out. Spectacular finale. The feminism here is finally not too overbearing, and having come to love the characters, I quite enjoyed the interplay.
I wasn't as fasinated with this series as I was with the Shapechanger series. Its okay, but not quite my style.
Read back in the 90s. Didn't make much of an impression on me.

Sword-Maker by Jennifer Roberson (1989)
Third in the series. Still a great read.
Book Three - Love this series.
Beautiful and compelling!
The Sword-Dancer series never impressed me as much as the Chronicles of the Cheysuli. It just doesn't seem to have the same depth or social relevance. But the Sword-Dancer books are solid fantasy with talking, uppity swords, so it's all good!
I have at this point fallen in love with both the main characters and am thoroughly enjoying their adventures.
An ok read with not so much whining from Tiger about not believing in this 'n that...
3rd book in the series. wee.
