Book Note: Ellen Kushner, The Privilege of the Sword

I read this book about 27-Jul-2007. This is the first time I've read this book. The book is copyright 2006. This note was last modified Thursday, 09-Aug-2007 20:26:53 PDT.

This note contains spoilers for the book.

 

A girl from a poor country branch of a major family (the top relative in the city is a duke) is eventually chosen to go to town and be trained as a swordsman—which is entirely inappropriate for a lady. Nevertheless she goes (it solves all her family's financial problems, and she wants to get to the city somehow). And she even becomes a good swordsman.

Then, about 2/3 of the way through, nothing happened for a while, and the stupidity level got a bit high, and I got tired of it and stopped reading.
