The Privilege of the Sword

I read this when it was new. It was well worth the reread. It can certainly be read as a stand-alone, I read that way the first time. But now, having read Swordspoint last month, I enjoyed it even more.

Narration by Kushner herself (and additional cast) is 5 stars all the way. Definitely naming on reading the other Riverside books now.

Read based on recommendations from file770.com. Engagingly written, but not so compelling that I'm going to read either of the other books in this world. A little more “fantasy” than I prefer.
