Status Updates From Clashing Blades: Tales of S...

"Ludis Kristaps: Upir’s Bane": a vampire hunter tale, nice a bloody, nice and vicious. This foe is a real vampire of the Old World, nothing sparkly nor countish about him. Good vengeance tale.

"Blood, Smoke and Ashes": a break from the Sword and Sorcery brings us swords and vile child-napping cultists. A duo of legend and apprentice avatars of Justice ferret out the truth in their bloody battle against crime. Nothing new for such a tale, but still exciting and promising of more.

"BLACK LIGHTNING": not a Korvix tale and not as fun. Sorta Eldritch detective type tale, okay, but overwrit and not endearing.

"Vengeance of the Gods": rather fun! A bit over the top also, but some terrific action, heroic and bloody. A fun salute to REH's "Tower of the Elephant"

"Death Stalks By Moonlight": Super deadly foe stalks the night and Korvix! Thrilling start to this tale of sorcery and death, followed by a climactic finale of sacrifice, perseverance, and courage.

"The Fiend in the Bowl": good battle happens several times in this fun story. Korvix faces undead, bodyguards, pirates, sorcerers, eldritch horrors, friendship, and lust, and survived them all. Enjoyable story, didn't cotton to the present tense as much.

The Goodreads app has a nasty habit of marking a book being 'Currently Read' if you happen to open it. I haven't been reading this for 2 years.

Story 1, "D’Nu’s Children": nastiness abounds here, boys and girls. Good thing Korvix knows a bit about fighting with sharp things. And against massive monsters, sexy demons, evil sorcerers, behemoth fertility goddesses, golems, and bandits. The sexy demon was the easiest.
