Review: The First Swords (Book of Swords 1-3) by Fred Saberhagen

The First Swords by Fred Saberhagen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed reading the Swords books again. This volume combines the first three books in the Book of Swords series.

The books follow Mark, Ben and Barbara on their adventures, which revolve around twelve powerful swords created by the gods (look for mostly Greek gods as well as a cameo by Shiva) and given to humans for the amusement of the gods. Things backfire on the gods when they discover that the swords can be turned against them.

The three books can be read in any order. Although each of them use the same characters and follow the same storyline and premise, each story is complete in of itself. Of course, you will enjoy them better if you read them in order.
