Hemmingway, Shakespeare, Stoker, Tolkein, and Martin
All hacks in comparison to the literary genius found within this tome. Frost Giant Butt Warriors is a literary masterpiece, unlike any I have ever seen before. Combining a compelling, and often times awe-inspiring, combination of world building, character development, internalized struggle, and description within such a short book that I was left in absolute awe for hours to come. The author manages to keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next the whole time as you are left worried yet interested in the future of this piece.
I would not merely reccomend this for its techincal and literary merits though, make no mistake, as this is also the single best RPG supplement I have ever had the pleasure to find, and was surprised at its cost. A supplement such as this is a must have for any fan of Scion wanting to expand their view of The World, as it presents a side of it we have never seen before. Not a mere exploration of the Myths and Legends we find in The World, this book shows us the human nature as well and what it is to truely live in a world based off mythology.
My only complaint would be this is a single story series, as this truly had the maings of being one the biggest additions to the RPG world since the invention of 7 dice sets. I can only hope that the coming Scion Anthology decides to look toward this great for its inspiration, and seek to not only live up to its legacy but surpass it.
6/5 stars, a must read.
