Background
Published in October of 1986, “The First Book of Lost Swords: Woundhealer’s Story” is the first book following Fred Saberhagens “Books of Swords” series. This story follows Prince Mark as tries to save his son by the only power he knows will be strong enough to break his curse, the sword known as “Woundhealer.”
My Thoughts
The whole time I was reading the book, I had the sensation of Déjà vu. I felt like I had read this before and it turned out that I had. I remember whole swaths of the book from over 30 years ago when I read them as a teenager. I don’t know that I enjoyed them more this time but I still enjoyed them.
Recommendation
Some of it was pretty campy but I enjoyed it.
