Publisher's summary

Fans have described the trilogy as Game of Thrones meets The Three Musketeers.

When Soren is plucked from the streets and given a place at the prestigious academy of swordsmanship, he thinks his dream of being a great swordsman has become a possibility. However, with great intrigues unfolding all around him, Soren discovers that he is little more than a pawn to the ambitions of others.

As he is swept from high society into exile in foreign lands to escape those who see him as a threat, he must rely on a mysterious gift and the lessons learned at the academy if he hopes to survive in a society where disputes are settled with a sword.

The Society of the Swords Trilogy contains the complete series.

A thoroughly emersive and engaging world

Mr. Hamilton had created a tale that follows Soren as he enters a world of intrigue and danger. The book grand you early and never lets you go, all the way to the end, with well developed characters, politics, and adventure.

Easy read (listen). Good characters and storyline.Not YA

While I enjoy the deeper storylines of Game of Thrones, Best Served Cold, Name of the Wind, Wheel of Time and so on, there comes a point were I look for something that is still epic but not so deep. This is exactly the type of book I am happy to find when I want a break from writers such as Abercrombie, Martin, Sanderson. I still want a good story I just don’t want all of the deep, deep, deep political intrigue and multiple storylines. This book fits the bill. The character behavior is understandable, the politics are easily followed, character interaction is enjoyable.
On a funny side note, I barely got use to the pace before the book was over, and this was the pace I was looking for!! A problem is usually solved within several chapters rather than it taking half of the book. Travel from one place to another can sometimes be as simple as the intent to travel being determined at the end of a chapter and starting in the new location at the beginning of the next. How refreshing not to have to read through travel that does nothing to really move the story forward.
The narrator does a fantastic job with distinctive voices, enunciation, pacing and allows the reader to just enjoy the story.
Highly recommend.

Hamilton is the new Gemmel.

I love his world's and he is the only author who can fill the void left by Gemmel. While he may lack some polish and doesn't destroy you with flawed but loved characters he is the only one out there that gives a perfect adventure in a world like ours in the past. There is just the right amount of fantasy to make it interesting but never overpowered. He is my favorite new author and I only wish he had more stories.

Pretty good

A little simple but still entertaining. Some of the characters were a little flat but narration was good.
