Here’s what a few of my friends had to say: Not everybody liked this one, so check out some of the other reviews if you’re on the fence about this title. There’s enough backstory on most of the characters that I didn’t get that Ha-Ha-You’re-A-Newbie-And-Nobody-Cares-That-You-Don’t-Have-A-Fucking-Clue feeling while I was reading.Īnd that was a fear of mine, since I’d never heard of most of these guys. This was a fun story, filled up with cool characters, and set in a surprisingly interesting ( for me, anyway) world. You guys are awesome! Rock on little nerds! Not those stupid, ‘Thou art the hind end of a horse!’ jokes.Īnd I apologize to any of my D&D playing friends who think that they are. Translated From Kryptonian things on the top of each page.Īnd for those of you who enjoy that tooty-fruity stuff…you’ve still got Etrigan!īlessedly, Demon Knights did just let the characters speak in normal voices. If it makes you feel better, you can always pretend that it’s got one of those Skip the bullshit, and just let the characters talk, ok?
I honestly think you’d need a better translator than the King James Bible, if you went back in time. Can you imagine how diverse things were back then? So you’re going to have big fat language barriers everywhere you go, due to local colloquialisms.Įven today, the meanings for words in English, mean different things in different countries.
I’m thinking most of the villages and towns were filled to the brim with people who hadn’t ever been more than 20 miles away from the spot they were born in. Third, I’ve always been under the impression that most of the little serfs and whatnot, were all basically uneducated, untraveled, and unhygienic.
I don’t see that you need another reason, but I’m going to give one anyway. Well, humor and a distinct lack of that goofy Prince Valiant speech pattern.Īlthough, DAMN that pageboy haircut was frekin’ sexy!Īlright, here’s my ( veryveryvery) uneducated theory on why writers should just skip trotting out the Thee’s and Thou’s, when dealing with this time period. So what did this title have that held my interest? This was easily one of the best titles I’ve read this week!Īnd, just so you know, I’m not generally a fan of the Sword and Sorcery stuff, or any of that Medieval Times bullshit. 1: Seven Against the Dark by Paul Cornell
