I scored this book 4/5
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
This book is a compilation of several short stories written by multiple authors. Some stories are good, others plainly to violent to my liking and others good do with some further editing. Overall, it is a nice book for those who enjoy some gory tales.
I particularly liked the stories which had a background story and were not simply violence for the sake of violence.
I don’t tend to like violent stories on their own, however there were a few which had a good back story and the violence was secondary to the story rather than the other way around.
I loved where violence was not the only aim of the story. Where the story was the important factor and the violence was a part of the story and not the story itself.
I didn’t like it when violence was the story rather than a part of the story.
I don’t know if any further books are planned as part of a series.
This book reminded me of none as it is not a usual genre for me to read.
In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
Children No
Young Adult Doubtful
Adult Yes
If you like violent stories this book could be the book for you.
