Privilege of the Sword is one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Not only did I find out what happened to Alec and Richard from Swordspoint, but the writing is incredible. Seriously, I kind of wish Swordspoint had been written in the same style as Privilege of the Sword. Or at least had the same level of depth and skill. Then again, Swordspoint was Ellen Kushner's first novel, while Privilege of the Sword is one of her most recent. Her writing has evolved and it shows.

Also, bi girls are hot.
