Tenacity by Dakota Krout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I come back to these specifically for the heavy ritualist hacking techniques in a fantasy setting.

Not, I should note, for the endless nasty grousing of antagonistic dwarves constantly hampering our hero's efforts.

Seriously, if I were him, I'd have let the entire dwarven community just go to whatever hell it wanted to achieve. This amount of backstabbing against a bona fide hero from the very start is just... ugly.

And sadly, our hero isn't exactly THAT likable anyway, so it's just a matter of assholes being assholes to each other. And yet, they still work toward making a functioning town?

Sigh. Oh, wait. This is meant to reflect reality, no? Right. Makes sense now.
