CM Magazine recommends Song of the Sword
CM Magazine (a.k.a. Canadian Review of Materials) has given Song of the Sword three out of four stars and a “Recommended” in its current issue.
The review is mainly a pretty complete synopsis, with a longish excerpt from the first chapter. It ends with:
Written clearly, and with an interesting version of the Arthurian legend, the tale portrays some common teenage problems through the eyes of the two main characters, while placing them in harrowing fantasy situations…The story will appear to those who enjoy fantasy and will not require a knowledge of the Arthurian tales to follow.
Recommended.
Nice!
