For 10 years, I’ve been using a magical sword that I won in battle to ruthlessly slay enemies, break evil artifacts, and open stubborn pickle jars, but I don’t know much about it.

That’s about to change.

Thanks to the fact that I’m dating a powerful dragon, I can get a ride to the dwarven home world, and we’re going to research the sword's roots. Not that I care much about its history, mind you, but several allies and enemies have suggested it can do a lot more than whack things. Considering the magical bad guys I fight are always stronger, faster, and more powerful than I am, I need every advantage I can get.

There’s just one problem: A half-dwarf thief has shown up and says she’s the rightful heir to the sword.

I want to believe it’s a scam and can’t possibly be true, but I didn’t get the sword in the most legitimate manner. If I have to give it up, I might not be able to do my job anymore, and just as bad, I’ll be a target for all the bad guys who have been waiting for an opportunity to take me down.

I had some favorite sequences

just as good as the earlier books.
great to get a feel for their mutually supportive relationship in these books.
my favorite bit;

“That might get me if it’s a scintillating fast-paced fantasy novel with a suitable amount of romance and snarky banter.”

I love this series. Great characters with a complex and detailed world building experience. While each book is complete without cliffhangers it's best enjoyed as a series.

I love this series so much that I finished this last book in one day. Now I am screwed for more than the obvious lack of sleep, but NOW what do I read??!! I seriously am quite upset that there appears to be no more books in this series! I hope that you enjoy the sarcastic, snarky humor that Lindsay images into Val and the way she plays off the Mighty Zav! ;p

Review by Beth not Elree.

This author reminds me of Patricia Briggs. I said reminds me. I LOVE this series and characters.

Seriously from book one I'm reading them back to back. So IF you're on the fence start with book one.

With that thought, I hope you'll enjoy their adventure along side of me.

Val's doppelganger is a half-dwarven thief!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

The half-dwarven thief's name is Li, and she wants Val's sword "Chopper." She's been stealing magical artifacts all over the place, but her biggest goal is to claim Val's sword.

She employed undead magical skeleton beings from the land of the undead magical skeleton beings, and oh boy did that cause a lot if damage!

It turns out she wasn't the only one to blame for this. She was doing the bidding of a dragon "Lich." Said dragon Lich was from the clan of dragons we all know and hate. They feel superior to all others and want to rule all lands, and be worshipped and feared, bla bla bla...

There is also a lot of boring B.S. in this book about Val's wedding. Val's boss and wedding planner wants her to have a traditional wedding, which is too dumb for words. Val and Zav are not traditional. Val isn't even religious! The whole point of this is so that Zav can "put a ring on it" and have a visual representation of their mating for all humankind to see and know that Val is off limits.

The author is most definitely wedding crazy, and finds this hilarious for some reason, but I don't. All the little details about flowers arrangements, deserts and entertainment for this shindig is boring and ridiculous within the context of the story.

Honestly, it feels to me, like what I assume an innocent fantasy lover would feel watching "The Hobbit" movies that have been doctored and spliced with snippets of "The Wedding Planner" and "Mean Girls" sprinkled in. It's like an infection that keeps growing bigger and bigger in each installment to the series...one if these things is not like the others...

Also, the money thing is annoying. Its been going on since the beginning of this series, but I felt at first that Val and everyone would grow out of their obsession with money and payments. They haven't, and its tiresome.

Love these characters

Fun series with a sassy, kick-ass protagonist, and charming supporting players.
Interesting world with magic and history elements.
Read the prequels first, or you feel as though you are attending someone else's high school reunion.

Having to write twenty words to say what I think is an abuse of this review. I only needed five. This pisses me off.

Another MUST read!

The story evolves in unpredictable directions, enthralling the reader as they wonder by what incredible ways the heroine is going to escape certain death, or worse. Sad that there is only one more book in the series, but looking forward to enjoying that one, as I know I will!

Absolutely love the characters in this series. Lindsay is a master character writer and this book is no exception. Great story line with the added bonus of the glimpses into the past and future to keep the current at megawatt interest. Read the series everyone you won’t regret it.

Val ends up on another world trying to find out about the secrets of her sword. It took me a while to get into this one compared to the other books, but it turned out to be exciting as I kept reading.
