- Sass & Sorcery. Kurtis J. Wiebe, et. al. In a fantasy world not too different from… Dungeons & Dragons… there is a party composed of four booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens for hire. The Rat Queens! Hannah the rockabilly elf mage, Violet the hipster dwarven fighter, Dee the atheist human cleric (yeah) and Betty the hippy smidgen thief. Together they are in the business of killing all the god’s creatures for profit! Too bad a hired assassin’s targeting every adventure party for death after far too many property damages. Oh, yeah, and there’s an army of orcs on the warpath. All in all, a pretty standard week for the Rat Queens!
An action-paced, often hilarious fantasy romp that is… well, not that different from most ‘swords and sandals’ yarns, except for: A. the often sarcastic humor and, more importantly, B, the fact that the cast is primarily women.
Highly entertaining, overall recommended.
