Although copies of books written by Dave Duncan are hard to come by they are well worth tracking down. This book is the conclusion to the series and is still well written with a plot that sweeps along. Perhaps its because its the end of the series I felt that it was slightly less good than the other two, although the ending is very good. Well worth reading, and definately a must if you wnat to know what happens to the sword!

Best of the trilogy
9 Dec 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Seventh Sword is an underread and underappreciated trilogy--a lot is going on under the surface of these three books, but the surface is such a readable story that it's accessible to anyone. The plot, as other reviewers have mentioned, is typical fantasy, but there are major, important differences which reveal themselves in this book and The Coming of Wisdom (2nd in the series). Every time I read these books, I'm swept up in the action, but I also see facets and symmetries I hadn't noticed before. This book, more than the first two, delves into the problems of idealism versus necessity, the proper use of power, what a person's identity really is (body, mind, beliefs, values, memories, reactions, desires?), faith and technology, how people grow and develop, and a lot more. The characters are unforgettable--anyone who's read these books will have an instant reaction to names like Katanji, Tomiyano, Thana, Tivanixi, or Jja.
Read these books, and read them again.

Great fun and engrossing
7 Jun 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Book 3 of The Seventh Sword [conclusion]
The final book in this series, 'Destiny' isn't as easily read on its own as the first and middle books ('The Reluctant Swordsman' and 'The Soming of Wisdom'). However, this is that rare thing: a trilogy conclusion that really concludes the story. It's an happy ending, no fear -- and it leaves you feeling good and fulfilled, so there's no need for Duncan to write more. (It *could* be done, of course, as McCaffrey did with 'Nerilka's Story,' but it isn't a foregone conclusion that it will be -- or even should be.) Excellent reading; a real page-turner.
This one's rated 'G' by me.

Great Series
4 Jan 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Let me start out with the fact that I've read this entire series at least 5 times. It is one of the most imaginatively entertaining series I have ever read. You just don't want to put these books down. The characters and engrossing and well developed. The plot moves quickly with well paced action and neither are over thought or cliche.
I can't rate this series high enough.
