Sword-Dancer

Tiger and Del, Book 1

By: Jennifer Roberson

Narrated by: Stephen Bel Davies

He was Tiger, born of the desert winds, raised as a slave and winning his freedom by weaving a special kind of magic with a warrior's skill. Now he was an almost legendary sword-dancer, ready to take on any challenge - if the price was right…or if the woman pretty enough.

She was Del, born of ice and storm, trained by the greatest of Northern sword masters. Now, her ritual training completed and steeped in the special magic of her own rune sword, she had come South in search of the young brother stolen five years before.

But even Del could not master all the dangers of the deadly Punja alone. And meeting Del, Tiger could not turn back from the most intriguing challenge he'd ever faced - the challenge of a magical, mysterious sword-dancer of the North…

good sword story

it was average book. i did not like the incredibly detailed explanation of surroundings using a vast vocabulary of colors. too much color-splaining. others may like it. tried to give 3 stars but only allowed 1?

Worth the Read/Listen

I for one loved the narrator. He sounds like the dean from Community and overall added to the enjoyment of my experience. Still sexy in its own way. Pleasant, entertaining listen.

so so

did not care for the narrator or story. disappointing very predictable story to say the least.

wicked good

A well paced and written story. The characters were well balanced and sharply defined. Read and enjoy

Fantasy & sword dancing

LOVED the banter between Tiger and Del. I loved watching Tiger evolve over the whole series and I loved having a strong, intelligent female main character.

Like reuniting with a old friend

I enjoyed this as much as reading it the first time long ago. I thought Stephen Bel Davies did a good job with narration. Perfect voice for Tige while adding a sense of lightheartedness to the character. Del was pretty much spot on too. Well done I will be buying the rest of the series.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Really enjoyed the story line. Character development and interaction was very interesting. Main character has a somewhat flawed opinion of women but appears it has to do with where he was raised and overtime he realized he may need to rethink it.

loved it!

this is one of my favorite audible books I've ever read the author is amazing and the narrator is spectacular loved it thank you audible

I wanted to hate it, but couldn't

Making the subject of slavery atopic is hard and overcoming the negativity that is already there even more so. lots of visuals and humor kept this one going.

I did not expect to like it.

This audiobook surprised me. I was expecting a bland story that didn't have a lot to it. Instead I got a pretty interesting adventure about two people's journey to find a missing brother. It was a nice surprise. The narrator had a voice that complemented and gave life to both the characters the story followed. The narrator did a phenomenal job taking an already entertaining story and making it difficult to stop listening. Now I have another series to entertain myself with while I work.
