His attempts to summon elementals resulted in nosebleeds, and there is nothing more embarrassing than having your elemental leave the circle to get you a tissue, pat you comfortingly, and then disappear in a puff of magic.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin. But when a group of thugs steal his mother’s necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn’t enough - sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 174
Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors between rooms—there are no secrets in this house—and her mother doesn't allow Cordelia to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than simple eccentricity sets her mother apart. Other mothers don’t force their daughters to be silent and motionless for hours, sometimes days, on end. Other mothers aren’t sorcerers.

Seeking help for her rescue mission, Marra is offered the tools she needs, but only if she can complete three seemingly impossible tasks:

Oliver was a very minor mage. His familiar reminded him of this several times a day. He only knew three spells, and one of them was to control his allergy to armadillo dander. His attempts to summon elementals resulted in nosebleeds, and there is nothing more embarrassing than having your elemental leave the circle to get you a tissue, pat you comfortingly, and then disappear in a puff of magic.

Another wonderful novel from T. Kingfisher
Superb world building, laugh out loud dialogue, characters I enjoy spending time with - Swordheart is another win from this author.
Halla, the FMC, is wonderful. She’s not a great beauty, not famous, or preternaturally talented. Instead she is kind, funny, curious, and smart enough to weaponize the appearance of stupidity to protect herself, especially when dealing with men. Her superpower is being underestimated.
The MMC’s superpower, beyond the ones that come with enchantment, is that he can see the strength and intelligence behind Halla’s smokescreen.
As usual with this series, in addition to simply enjoying the story, I’m struck by the author’s deftness with world building and how they give readers the information we need without any long blocks of explanation.
For instance, the sword is subject to an enchantment with very specific rules. The characters themselves are figuring out the rules of the enchantment, so we learn with them. No explanatory passages needed.
I love all of these characters, and especially enjoy the recurring characters of the Clockwork Boys’ world. The gnole and his ox, the lawyer-priest of the Rat, the Bishop, and the Paladins all bring a wonderful sense of consistency that anchors the reader in the world the author has created.

Favorite book
I rarely get an audio version of a book if it's a female narrator. It makes the male characters talk in falsetto usually. Jesse Vilinsky did a pretty good job differentiating the different people in the book.

Just delightful!
I’m fairly new to the fantasy genre, this was my first T. Kingfisher novel, and… I’m overjoyed.
It’s like an Emily Henry-style romcom in a lightly fantasy/magical setting. I enjoyed this world and the main characters so much. And gotta love enough romance/tension plus several great LOL moments.
Also, Jesse Vilinski’s audiobook performance was absolutely stellar — from the character voices (and accents!) to the comedic timing/delivery. I listen to a TON of audiobooks, and if I could give 10 stars to this one for performance, I would!

My first Kingfisher , Great Narration.
Not a bad book! I was looking at lists for cozy fantasy fiction and SwordHeart was on many a list. It was cozy. Although not as “cozy” as some cozy fantasy. More importantly in cozy Fiction , it was really witty and funny. Especially after the Rat Priest gets involved. I enjoyed this an don’t feel that I missed anything , even though I’ve not read other books from this AMAZING world , created. by Kingfisher.
This narrator is amazing!! So many different male voices and sounded different VERY different from each other. Narrator pulled this book up for me, although it’s a pretty great little book!

Almost perfect!
What a fun book! Sort of a road trip/buddy movie combined with a rom-com. I really, really enjoyed it! Just a few minor quibbles with Halla’s response to finding the truth about Sarkis, and then her efforts to retrieve him at the end. Those were a bit of a stretch. But in all other respects it was a fantastic book. Definitely recommend it!

Fully fleshed out Romance and Fantasy
I loved this book! The fantasy world building, the banter, the romance. It’s so good. It gets you into a complex world quick, with no heavy handed maps or explanations. Also love a compelling romance where no one is like freshly 18.
