I received a complimentary copy of this ebook for review.This was a collection of short stories and novellas all centered around magical, enchanted and cursed weapons.  All the stories had some sort of dark twisted plot about revenge, lust, power, dominance and death.  One was lighthearted with a dark twist, it will make you laugh at first. Most of the characters in the stories were complex and haunted and the author did a great job of painting the scenes with poetic prose.  I was put off slightly by the sometimes repetitive language, the author could have cut out some of the stories and cleaned them up to make the stories easier to follow.  I found myself often confused as to whether the character was seeing something in the present versus remembering a past event.  Sometimes it seemed like the author was just throwing in a bunch of stuff to take up space and at times it made it a real chore to keep reading.
