What a disappointment, but to be honest I have never really got into Angela Knight, this book while steeped in Magic with obviously quite a lot of background research lacks what truly makes a Romantic story and that is engaging and believeable characters despite the paranomal setting.

The characters are unsympathetic and really fail to entice on any real level, some small pluses though in the character of Kel which does have promise if Knight can bring it together. Not to say this book does not have all the necessary requirements of alpha stud versues unsure heroine with the obligatory bad guys but for me just failed to entice and I found myself skipping pages, not a good sign.

Angela Knight just keeps on getting better. ‘Master of Swords’ is one of her best yet. This novel takes place mostly in the Mageverse, an alternate reality where vampire Knights of the Round Table, led by Arthur, and their female equivalents, the Majas, fight to protect Earth and the other realms from the bad vamps and sorcerers.
Lark McGuin is a relatively new Maja who has survived a vicious vamp attack and finds her confidence, never very strong, faltering badly. She is given as an apprentice to Gawain, the love ‘em and leave ‘em super stud of a society in which sex between Mages and Majas is more common than sneezing, unless you find the one to whom you are Truebonded. Okay, so no surprises as to what happens, but it happens sweetly and sensually and—okay, let’s face it, Knight’s characters have more sex than Christine Feehan’s!—but in between there is a good plot, lots of battles, and the wonderful dragon character of Kel who presumably will be the star of the next book, ‘Master of Dragons.’ I can’t wait.
