Story4.5 out of 5 stars 101
Long ago, the gods forged Twelve Swords of Power and threw them on the gameboard of life to watch men scramble. But they had forged too well: The Swords could kill the gods themselves. Now the gods gone, the Swords are scattered across the land, some held by those of good heart...others by those whose purposes are evil...and one, Sightblinder, is held by Arnfinn, a young country boy who knows nothing of the Tale of Swords or of Sightblinder's power; to make the viewer see that which he most desires - or most fears.

Still enjoyable after all these years

I have enjoyed these books for several decades and have them in print but found them enjoyable to listen to while working around the shop or yard. The narrator for the first books of swords was fantastic. Once the narrator changed with the books of lost swords the enjoyment came at a price. This narrator is terrible. She could compete with AI for the most non-human recitation award. Can we crowd fund a new recording with the original narrator reading all the books?
