This is probably my favorite entry into this series so far. It ties up the ending of the last book and has its own satisfactory ending while still leaving some loose threads to pick up in the next book. These characters have grown and I am enjoying them immensely.

I'd definitely recommend the series so far to fans of sword and sorcery stories who don't mind a little bit of romance thrown in. ( )

The third book of the Sword-dancer series finds our hero, the Sandtiger, making his way out of the northern territory with a magical sword and a crap-load of personal issues. The middle books in this series tend to drag a little. ( )
