Swordspoint is mostly the tale of the swordsman Richard St Vier and his lover, the formed scholar Alec two boys that are mad, bad, and dangerous to know. The cutting was frequently a lot more literal and a good half of the book was spent in the rambunctious Riverside, a homage to every city district ever where moral and legal behaviour was always the last possible choice of entertainment. I expected a lot of gorgeous society people cutting each other dead socially. Swordspoint is arguably the start of the fantasy of manners genre, a term that might have slightly misled me. It finished with me finishing Swordspoint, and finishing it with sadness and joy, but something of a sigh of relief too that it was over. That plan got as far Swordspoint, the second book on the list, and Kushner’s diamond-engineered prose. I started last weekend intent on leafing through a bunch of books to find the one that’d claim my attention next.
