Lawrence Watt-Evans, The Misenchanted Sword
Wildside (1985) ISBN: 1-58715-282-7
Score: 2.5
First Ethshar novel (medievaloid fantasy with multiple magic systems), showing the end of the 100 year Great War between Ethshar and the Northern Empire, and some of the consequences, as viewed through the eyes of Valder, a scout (later an innkeeper), and how he dealt with Wirikidor, the titular sword. This edition also includes the short story "The Bloodstone". I usually don't care for short fiction, and this one didn't add anything to my understanding of the setting or characters.
Next Book: Lois McMaster Bujold, The Hallowed Hunt
