I didn?t care for this book. But, it wasn?t so bad that I didn?t finish it and at the end I sort of liked it. It?s got to be the first mannerpunk novel that I?ve read. (What?! I had to look this one up for myself.) I loved reading about the sword-fighting, Richard St Vier?s and Lord David Alexander Tielman Campion?s relationship, and about Godwin learning to be a swordfighter. The bonus short stories at the end of the book are real treasures. Ultimately, I read ?Swordspoint? and its sequel ?The Fall of the Kings? together. Alternating back and forth, it was the best way for me not to get bored with this book. As I mentioned in my review of ?The Fall of the Kings?, each book has a different feel to it and has its own personality. Were I didn?t like this one, others will love it. Based on my experience with reading the first two books in the world of Riverside, I will not be reading ?The Privilege of the Sword?.
In a society where disputes between nobles are settled with hired swordsmen, St Vier is the best in the business. He dotes on his lover not only with love, but also with his past payments of eye-popping and jaw-dropping rings worth fortunes. Soon, he is trapped to do a job, (and perhaps even cursed after seeing the play superstitious to swordsmen), when Alec is kidnapped by the lord that St Vier refuses to work for. When a nobleman is struck dead without a contract, St Vier must face charges of murder. There are rules and manners that even a hired swordsman must follow.
