Though he had read much about the outside world, he&#8217;d never considered leaving home. Not until his teacher revealed what he had inherited from his parents: a living sword, a sentient blade of rare power . . . and with it, the names of his father and mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reluctant to go, yet curious, Eurik sets out to discover who they were, and what happened to them. But is he ready for all the attention his heritage will earn him? Can he survive in a world he has only read about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Living Sword&nbsp;has been revised and professionally edited as of November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-stars.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-stars.png\" alt=\"3 stars\" class=\"wp-image-7356\" width=\"256\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-stars.png 512w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-stars-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I think of Fantasy books, I often think of the following: unique names, complex plots and characters, fantastical locations, magic or magic-like capabilities, and really, really thick spines. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40G3F9T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Living Sword<\/a><\/em> by Pemry Janes has most of these things, but what it lacks are the things that would have allowed it to earn a better rating from me: the plot was not complex, the characters lacked the depth I like to see, and the really, really thick spine did not exist. It is a short book that falls more into the novella category than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With regard to the length, there is a reason Fantasy and Science Fiction books are typically very long: the worlds they build require it. A reader cannot be thrown into a world with the expectation that they are already familiar with everything. To create a fantastical location where the story takes place and imbue it with specific sets of rules means taking the time to write it all out and allowing the reader to feel comfortable by the end. Can that be done with fewer words? Yes, but it takes a really skilled writer to do that. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pFeI5x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Living Sword<\/a><\/em> started off on an island with a great example of world-building, however by the time we ended up off the island in which is starts, there was too little for me to picture that world in my mind. I would have liked to stay on the island longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that world-building comes complex plots, and with those complex plots comes dynamic characters. One character on a quest may start a novel off with an inciting incident, but along the way, that quest will typically set off multiple side stories, the things that really show the reader who the characters are and why they do the things they do. The quest will in turn change at least the main character in ways that are relatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did not feel that way while reading <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pFeI5x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Living Sword<\/a><\/em>. Perhaps because it is only the first in a series, and therefore I feel like I am reviewing only 1\/3rd of the story. Pemry Janes is a good writer with a rich imagination, and as a debut this book is very good. There is action and wit weaved throughout a true, if not overdone, coming-of-age story. The main character, Eurik, is a human raised by non-humans, learning magical ways. Almost immediately, he is pushed to find out who is parents were, given a &#8220;living sword&#8221; (hence the title), and set upon a quest to a place he&#8217;s never been. Along the way, we do meet other characters, one of whom is more dynamic and likeable than Eurik. That&#8217;s great\u2026but the story is not about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The action scenes are well-written, and I really enjoyed the way the author showed us differing points of view. As a coming-of-age story, there are definitely elements of wonder mixed with confusion and an understated theme of racial divide. However, I would have liked to learn more about the side characters and the world in which Eurik finds himself. Janes does attempt to show us everything through the eyes of an outsider&#8211;which is good&#8211;but it seemed incomplete. Again, I felt like I had only read 1\/3rd of the novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the hardest part about writing this review. Just like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pFeI5x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Living Sword<\/a><\/em>, this review feels incomplete. I have been intrigued enough with this first book, however, to read the second in the series and perhaps the third. I am sure my rating will change, but for now I am stuck with 3 stars only. It is a good and entertaining read, but it is also only a fraction of the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Available at Amazon:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pFeI5x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Living-Sword-Pemry-Janes-ebook\/dp\/B00ELBEJHE\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/reviews\/\">Read More Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;text-align: center;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\",\"Print\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"big\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"bxwretlind\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Review%3A%20The%20Living%20Sword%20by%20Pemry%20Janes\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description (from Amazon.com) Eurik was found adrift by the san and raised by them.
