Have any of you read Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner? (Not you, [livejournal.com profile] sparkyred, I know you have...)

If so, have you also read Fall of the Kings? Is it any good?

Yes! It's great. Gay swashbuckling. And angst. I'd recommend it.

I haven't read Fall of Kings Yet, as I can't seem to get hold of it anywhere-- have you found somewhere in the UK that is selling it?

Fall of the Kings = shagging. And wizards. <333333

I love Swordspoint. It's amazing.

I haven't read Fall of the Kings yet but since Swordspoint and the short stories are so good I'd be very surprised if it wasn't worth reading.

Was going to read it a while back, but couldn't find it ANYWHERE.

Worth looking harder??

[identity profile] meloise.livejournal.com 2003-10-12 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! YES YES YES! So worth reading!

In that case, I shall.

Thanks!

:D Always willing to hook people on books, especially those as good as Swordspoint and Fall of the Kings.

YES!! Fall of the Kings is excellent! Possibly better than Swordspoint. I haven't finished it yet, though.

Ohhhhh gods! I ust finished FAll of the Kings today, after waiting for MONTHS. BEST book I've read all year next to Sabriel. Depressing as hell, but great.

And Alec, from Swordspoint, is great. So it St. Vier. Both books are amazing. Get them, get them!
