The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner

4.0

Very nearly five stars. I may have liked it even better than [b:Swordspoint|68485|Swordspoint (Riverside, #1)|Ellen Kushner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388903158s/68485.jpg|1453593]. Excellent protagonist, lovely narration, and a wonderful story line. As in its predecessor, the plotting, pacing, and writing were very well done. Also as in its predecessor, it's only technically fantasy in that it takes place in a history that never happened. Otherwise, it's straight adventure and historical fiction.

A highly enjoyable book, and one I recommend enthusiastically.
