Review by:
Steven Poore
on April 25, 2013 :
Fresh heroic fantasy stories without the heavy reliance on Westernised tropes. Some of the tales are very slight, but most are very good indeed, and none are too long or too heavy to support themselves. I would have loved to see Doctor Diablo's short story extended and further explored, for example. The Conan-esque Zok is also an interesting creation, but it is the first story, that introduces the ghul-hunting protagonist of Saladin's full-length debut novel, that will probably draw most readers to this collection. Nicely done, and consistently told, with a good ear for the intricacies of honour and faith that many fantasies lack.
