Swords and Sorcery Sampler contains three short story. Each story was beautifully written. People places and action was described with clear detail. The first story about a paid assassin hired by a priest to kill a demon had several twists and great action. My only complaint was,it ended too soon.. The second story was a great short story. A warrior looking for a wife, and the challenge he met to try to win her. The last story was a warrior woman sneaking in to a mysterious city to find her daughter that was kidnapped. Each story was well written, unique people, story, and endings. Hope to read more in the future with the same quality.

This book was really good! It was better than I expected. I thought it would be good, just not as good as I found it to be once I started. Anyone who likes fantasy will love reading the three stories in this book! They are amazing in their detail, their thrills and plot lines! I think this book is a must read!
