Publisher's summary

"Better to Live than to Die" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues.

About this story, author John Gwynne says, "The Banished Lands has a violent past, where men and giants clashed in a war for supremacy and near-extinction for the vanquished. Now men rule the land, giants little more than a memory, lurking in the wilds and dark places. This tale takes place ten years before the events of Malice, book one of The Faithful and the Fallen, within the Darkwood, a great forest that splits the western realms of Ardan and Narvon. It recounts a key moment in the life of a young bowman, Camlin, who is part of the Darkwood Brigands - a moment that has far reaching consequences for the great conflict to come."

Entertaining

Short example of Gwwynne's storytelling style, use of dialogue and vivid descriptions of action and combat.

Not sure what I read

This is very short and isn't worth the money spent. Not sure what the author is doing with this very short partial story.

I was hoping for more

There was really nothing in the story that was informative, exciting or interesting in anyway. It definitely wasn’t worth its price
