    Yes, Swordspoint deserved a 10. I read it years ago and still to this day am amazed at how I didn’t actually like any character in that book but loved the book.

    I can never keep up with you Michelle….you are my heroine on reading books!! Thanks for your reviews although you owe me money!! You have caused me to spend money on some new books. :D

    Have you read anything else by Ellen Kushner? I really like everything she writes, although she isn’t prolific.

    Paulette, you’re welcome! It’s such a compliment when people read books because I really liked ‘em!
