Like seriously, this is actually solid and enjoyable prose and character work, with just the right combination of florid and spare muscularity that makes S&S fun. Probably not worth the effort of tracking down, but fun enough if you feel like hot-blooded stories about low fantasy characters chopping winged zombies out of the air in sprays of crimson.
Mmm. I wasn't a big fan of that one. Aesthetically, it was a bit too fantastic for my S&S tastes (though that's fairly common with Red Sonja), but I also seem tor ecall that she never really did anything - she basically was just working as a bodyguard for another character the whole time.
