Summary: Great Book, GREAT series!
Review: I know that "With a Single Spell" actually is the original for the series, but I started with this book and now I constantly check the book stores for new titles by Lawrence Watt-Evans. The whole of the series (although each book is pretty much completely independent, which I also find very enjoyable) in this richly described world hinge upon what you learn in this book.

Summary: Start of Greatness
Review: I picked this book up 10 years ago, and gave it a read. It was simply the best the best book I had read. I would heartily recommend this book. I loved all the Ethshar books. I have loved all of his books save the three worlds trilogy. I could not recommend them at all.As a side note, do not lend this book to anyone, I am on my 3rd copy!

Summary: Great, funny, interesting, and just kept me reading!!!
Review: I thought that this book is a definite 9, maybe even a 10. But I rated it a 9 or else it means there nothing better, and I haven't read that many books. The book was full of funny parts, sword fights, and wonderful characters. The story was also great. The plots, events, causes, and effects were well written. Also, All the items and people were perfect. It just kept me reading. I'm hoping very badly that Lawrence Watt-Evans will keep writing more books like that. I enjoyed reading it, and I'm going to read it again! Definitly one of the top 10 on my charts! I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys fantasy and adventure!!

Summary: Gripping fantasy set in the world of Ethshar
Review: If you liked 'With a Single Spell' you'll LOVE 'Misenchanted Sword'. Valder is a soldier, behind enemy lines. In a war fought with demons and spells, he knows little magic. He stumbles across a master magician and has his sword enchanted, but like the sword the enchantment is double edged. I loved it

Summary: A light fantasy classic
Review: Not heralded as a classic by everyone, this is one of my alltime favorite light fantasy reads. Valder plays the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time...and suddenly finds himself in possession of a cursed sword. Only Lawrence Watt-Evans could pilot and create such a light, entertaining read. And the ending is classic. Has me chuckling everytime I think of it. Kind of a Homer Simpson "DOH! Slaps hand for forhead." If you're looking for an escape from all the dark, bloated, overwritten fantasy being published today...give this one a read.

Review: One of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. Lawrence Watt-Evans has an entertaining style that never fails to suck me into the story.

Summary: Standard Formula
Review: Predictable plot, sketchy locale, good dialogue, sterotypical characters individuated by anachronistic twentieth century quips in an otherwise medieval mileau. The author has written this book several times under different titles with re-named characters in various locales. Reminiscent of Heinlein's "Glory Road" without fully realized characters. If you haven't already read one of Lawrence Watt-Evan's books it's definitely worth the price, worth reading for enjoyment, not worth re-reading. If you have read one of his books you know what your getting. Buy it, if you want more of the same. I borrowed my copy.

Summary: Bottom Line-- A classic
Review: Simple, yet providing an absolutely enjoyable read. The only gripe I have is that it was too short--I wanted more. Thankfully, LWE keeps it going with the other Esthar books and is the man.
