** spoiler alert ** I didn't enjoy this as much, don't get me wrong it's good but I was a bit frustrated.

The heroine goes to seek out the sword and with it her identity.
She ends up going to see her grandfather, who is not far off death any day yet doesn't reveal her identity.
The book has chapters starting with several weeks went by, which is fine but she wants to be somebody before she tells him.
He is mournful as he has no living relatives left.
I suppose it was good I cared enough to get frustrated.
There is an interesting few twists in the plot, including a possible second love interest.
After reading the author's other work you are never sure if the heroine will end up with who you think could be the Hero.
No intimate scenes.
There is quite a bit of violence, not gratuitous but fighting scenes.
Some humour and more is revealed about the past.

It does end on a cliffhanger of sorts as there is trouble to be sorted elsewhere which they will be involved in but it also does have a satisfying ending.
