BOOK REVIEW
By the Sword
This book should be counted as a 4th entry in the Vows and Honor series, as most of the early chapters and a big part of the setup for the finale are pulled directly from the stories of Tarma, Kethry and Worrl their Kyree companion. I concede this book focuses on a new protagonist and storyline, but it also gives background for Kerowyn, who becomes a key background player in the Mage Winds and Mage Storms series, it also acts as a major progression arc for the intelligent sword Need.
