Sword Called Kitten #1
A Sword Called...Kitten?
Lost a century ago from its traditional owner, thrown into a swamp by a Hand with no ear for music, the Sword struggles through the seamy underside of society to regain the path towards honour, glory, and a name of its own. This new prospect is only a woodcutter, but he has a strong arm, a sense of duty, and a receptive mind. Trouble looms for his village. A chance for heroic deeds? The Sword dares to dream again. Now, if only there was someone around with a decent sense of humour...

Gordon A Long is a natural at story telling. A Sword Called…Kitten? Is a fun read with likable characters, imaginable settings and magic. What more could a Fantasy reader ask for?
I don’t think I’m giving anything away by telling you the main character is a sword. Her personality shines from the first introduction, the prologue, you must read it. She’s in a bit of a state but it’s funny. Of course, to have the story that follows, she has to find someone to wield her; actually, her Hand, Ecmond, finds her.
The story never stalls with battles, treachery, mysteries and surprises. What made this story great for me was the fun I had reading it and the magic. Kitten has now topped my all time favourite characters. She wants a name but will she be happy with it? You’ll have to read it to find out.
Definitely a five star read. Hmm…I hope I find out I am of the Blood and meet Kitten one day. Well, I can dream, can’t I?

This book is a cracking read and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially those looking for something just that little bit different. It's well-written and amusing, and is full of action and "attitude". If you've never read a book written by a sword before (and let's be honest - who has?) then you've just got to read this.

Very entertaining story about a sword called Kitten. Loved her sense of humor even when no one around her appreciated it. Delightful and thoroughly enjoyable. Recommend highly.
