This one's intense, folks! Conan meets Gladiator in this epic battle...I mean book :) The world is vivid, the battles are creative, and the story keeps you glued in. Personally, I feel the writing could have been a little 'tighter', which is why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. All else aside, this is a very enjoyable read.

Brutal Sword Saga is well chosen for this book!
It went from one life threatening battle to another and from one (or two it three) unconquerable monsters/gods/villains to another. What a continuous rollercoaster ride. The protagonist was truly likable in a self-centered way... he never doubted his abilities and always believed his opponents had a weakness. The author's inventive mind was on full display... he liberally and successfully dipped into the Mayan/Aztec culture. This is where as a reader you make up your own names because the names in the book are impossible to sound out or repeat more than once. I enjoyed the book... Would I read the other books in the series? Hmmm... it like reading Conan the Barbarian... every once in a while slash and burn and plenty of gore is a satisfying way to spend an afternoon.

he does it again
Everything I’ve read from this author has been absolutely wonderful. Even though it gets into higher fantasy level imagery than I usually read, he does it with such a style I can’t get enough. This one involves Norseman and an Aztec like setting, with lots of twists and pretty gruesome fight scenes.
