Book Reviews of The Privilege of the Sword
Book Review: A Delicious Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I was stuck in Pensacola while the dealer repaired my RV, so I wandered into Books A Million looking for Naomi Novik's latest book. On the shelf above, this book caught my eye, great cover. I grabbed it because it looked like a quick, fun read that I could dip into between answering questions for the technicians working on my rig. Well, that didn't happen. The darn book reached out and sucked me right in. I was up late reading it for two nights in a row. Ellen Kushner is a wonderful writer.
I won't bore you by repeating the plot; lots of people have done that. I just want to encourage you to read this book! Of course, if you are the kind of person who has never been able to find the inside of your cheek with your tongue, you'll hate this book. Ms. Kushner skewers everyone: the tall, the short; the fat, the thin; the gay, the straight; the smart, the ignorant; the titled, the commoner. She spared no one, nor should she. We all need a good shake up every once in a while, and Ellen Kushner delivers it with wit and panache. Get a copy of this delicious book, and don't worry about reading the preceding books in the series. This book stands on its own.
