My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I want to say that I liked this even more than the first Sworn Soldier Novella, but alas, no. The first had slightly more wry humor and the true horror aspect was superior.
The COVER for this novella, however, had me expecting a LOT more. So yeah, you might say that I may have judged this book by its cover. *sigh*
That being said, it IS a very solid, short horror with compelling characters and a very historical setting, complete with war flashbacks, modern sensibilities, and rampant superstition.
Not that we'd have ANYTHING like that NOW, of course. Oh, no.
Either way, it's worth the read and I'll be excited to read more when they come out.
A very sausage-flavored synesthesia for this work. Good in moderation, but quite heavy on the mental palate.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
