John T. Sapienza, Jr. reviewed The Swordbearer for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Cook's mythology comes out rather odd to my taste, but this is due partly to the fact that instead of recycling existing materials he is trying to build something different as the background for the social conflicts that move these characters.
