5/15/2023 0 Comments Swordheart book![]() ![]() This is a low stakes story with sweet, warm, hilarious characters and expertly written dialogue. It also gets her into an equal amount of problems that mostly get solved with stabbing by her magic sword man, who comes from the same family of characters as Sam Vimes and Geralt of Rivia. ![]() This works on guards, bandits, murderers, enchanted swords, priests, and lawyers. Our penniless bimbo, who comes from the same family of characters as Arthur Dent and George of the Jungle, has learned to survive mostly by acting dumb and talking at her problems till they go away. In trying to kill herself with the only thing available – a rusty old sword that had been hanging over the fireplace in her tiny bedroom for decades, she accidentally releases a man who is either is a sword or lives in the sword (this is a semantic distinction no real answer is given to but much time is spent contemplating) and is sworn to protect the wielder. The scheme is mostly comprised of (1) lock her in a room, (2) marry her to her late husband’s clammy handed brother, (3) profit. The family naturally descends on her and immediately begins scheming how to get it back. ![]() Plot: A penniless widow has inherited all the money and assets of her late husband’s great-uncle, who she’d been caring for since her husband died. I think most of you have already left to go order this book, but I guess I’ll still go through the motions. Imagine if Terry Pratchett’s writing and Douglas Adams’ writing had a baby and you basically have T. ![]()
