No one is saving the world as they know it, nor will anyone perish if Halla’s quest to have Silas’s will honored fails. Vernon also expands the boundaries of this world from what we saw in the also excellent Clocktaur duology.Ĭompared to those books, not much is at stake in Swordheart. The banter between the two would make any screwball comedy fan shiver with glee. The romance unfolds organically, rather than as an enforced meet-cute. Her touch feels light, but is a skilled breeziness that is surprisingly deep. While Sarkis and Halla are wonderfully drawn, fully fleshed-out characters, what makes the story really crackle is Vernon’s silliness and heart, both of which thrum just under the story. Halla is about to fling herself onto a sword in order to escape a forced marriage to the cousin when Sarkis appears. The financial support is exactly what Halla needs, but her aunt and cousin connive to keep it from her. Halla’s uncle Silas has just died and left her his worldly goods. This title is a witty romance between a very respectable widow, Halla, and Sarkis, a warrior trapped in an enchanted sword. Swordheart, which is set in her Clocktaur War world but has nearly nothing to do with the events of Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine, is most definitely a book for grown-ups.
