I've completed A Blade Reborn on 2 characters on my account. I've claimed the MoT book on both characters, but neither would trigger the completion. This is the only MoT I need to finish the book and it has been the only one to not complete since MoT came out for year 2.
To be sure, I double checked the abandoned quests kiosk and did not find the Blade Reborn quest there (or any of its precursor quests).

You haven't obtained any exotic swords, on any character. All three cards are locked in your grimoire.
