Review: Sword and Verse

Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am having a hard time writing a review for this book.. The internal conflict for me is very high for whether i should give it a 3 star or 4 star.

This book is definitely not a 5 star for me reason being the book had missed the biggest part i.e the court. The author never brought anything about court except a few things which were important in the plot. We weren't told about the setting of the empire.

Why you should read: The plot is interesting. The author deleberately reaveals the biggest secret and makes us wait for the character to identify it. But the heart verse was just awesome. I never expected what it was so that was a good thing..

The short description about the story of gods was also good.

The author kept us engaged in the story by different means. The main plot of this book is romance and the author had done a great job in that area and its only because of that had i enjoyed this book a lot.

Some basic sins: The Learned ones used to live on a island. When there are watch towers it is easy to see the enemy ship approaching so i dont understand how they weren't able to prepare themselves for the attack. We weren't told anything about the time frame between when the learned ones left and current time which is a big draw back. Espically if i consider them to be living there for 500 -600 years it would be easy for them to sneak in the empire and start teaching the language, The rebels would have farmed within 20-30 years. So i would have liked if the author had brought in some time frame.

Last Verdict: I enjoyed reading this book. It was worth the time i spent on it. Would be liked by those who love romance book and not by the Fantasy-War readers. If you are new to reading then you should definitely read.

Loving the person against whom you are going to rebel? Bloody awesome.. I am ready for a roller coaster ride for the emotions because it will definitely be a betrayal and i cant wait to see how the author handles it between the characters..which i think will be the crucial part of the book.
