I really enjoyed this one - a talking, evil sword. ( )

This was a short story detailing Hawklord Daymar's acquisition of a blood-thirsty Morganti blade. Like all of Brust's work it was a fun read with a biting sense of humor. Only released via e-book, it wouldn't make a good introduction to the author as any reader who has not previoiusly read the other books in the Vlad Taltos series, particularly Dzur, would be lost. ( )

A very short piece that was nicely written, but didn't cover enough ground to warrant the $1 price tag. This reads like a loose sketch of an idea for a larger story or a simple story fragment.

One of a series of short works of fiction published by Tor (I'd guess to introduce their writers to new readers), this falls in the same category as many of the others I bought en masse; nice, but at just a handful of pages, it's not enough.

Pretty "meh!" addition to the Vlad Taltos series. Fills in how Telnan got his sword. Rather forgettable. The most interesting part was the short appearance of Daymar; wish there had been a little more of him. ( )
