The Sword Defiant

As soon as I started reading this book I knew I was going to love it. And it was amazing.
The Dark Lord trope is used as backstory and I loved it! With a DND vide I was sold on this classical feel of the story. Oh, and the talking sword.

I enjoyed the characters and where the story went. I do wish that the female lead while well written wouldn't come across as damsel in distress. I Would have enjoyed her storyline more otherwise. I want more murderous mummy!
I will add the other side female characters were well written and strong, even is they didn't get a lot of page time.

The deeper into the story I went the sense of a wider world and plot encountered in the best way. I wanted to know more about the gang who destroyed the Dark Lord years ago.

A really enjoyable tale with an expansive world.
I Highly recommend if you like First Law but at not as grimdark and the kings of the wild with a splash of DND.
