A Pilgrimage of Swords

This is an action packed novella! A very well self contained quest, it reads a little like a D&D adventure, but the quality of the prose helps elevate it. We follow a party roaming across a landscape cursed by a mad god encountering the various obstacles that have been placed in their way. This is all on the vague potential of a wish being granted.

The real star of the story is magical sword being wielded by the lead character. This is a talking sword that has a delightfully cynical outlook on life. The interactions with the sword give a wonderful wit to the story. Yes, talking swords have been done before, but this was done very well.

This novella is the first of series and I am intrigued to see where they go, there is obviously a lot of potential left in the world that has been built here
