   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  dbhart42 | Dec 21, 2017 |  roseread | Mar 3, 2007 | This is the fourth, and in my opinion, the worst of the Sword-Dancer books. But, if you liked the first couple and enjoy the chracters, try to get through it because the fifth book's a charmer. (  ) f_ing_kangaroo | Oct 1, 2006 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Accused of murdering a man the Southern tribes believe to be their messiah, but who is actually the slayer of Del's family, Tiger and Del flee across the deadly Punja desert, hunted by religious zealots and sword-dancer assassins. But evading death by assassins' blades is only one of the challenges they face. For Tiger's sword, Samiel, has been possessed by the spirit of the deadly sorcerer, Chosa Deia wizard out of legend with the power to unmake the entire world, a master of evil who seeks to mold Tiger into his ultimate weapon of destruction. Tiger and Del have only one hope leftto find and gain the help of Chosa Dei's equally powerful counterpart and sworn enemy, Shaka Obre. But Shaka Obre has not bee nseen in the world for hundreds of years, and it may be beyond even the combined magical abilities of Tiger and Del to find this wizard who is their only chance for salvation...

So this is book four of the series, so don't read the review if you haven't read the first three. Spoilers for this book are hidden, but I can't guarantee spoilers for the other books are.
Tiger and Del, after causing quite the exit at the end of book three, must flee the wrath of, well, pretty much everybody. Del spends most of the book trying to get Tiger to face what he needs to do to/with the sword and worrying that Tiger is the one possessed, not the sword. Tiger is basically pretty beat up, sick, old, and hurting through most of the book, and Del is either annoyed or worried, depending.
There was a little bit of character development in Del and Tiger, and in their relationship, but this is not one of my favorites in the series, mainly because Del seems a little more distant through most of the book (for good reason, I admit) and Tiger spends lots and lots of time inside his head worrying instead of doing. It's basically a long chase scene through the desert with a few side trips. However, the resolution to whether Tiger is or isn't the messiah of the desert is excellently accomplished, and in true Tiger fashion, so I must give kudos for that. (
