A Violent Saga with Strange Creatures A-Plenty

A more-unique Conan read for its strange creatures and atypical characters, such as a race of giants. This is one of the more violent Conan spinoffs, very bloody and unrelenting in its action. The battles against humans and creatures are vivid and gory. The cast of characters are likeable and compelling. Conan is lost on an island inhabited by a race of giants cut off from the rest of the world. Although these giants have a few feet on Conan (who is supposedly about 7 feet tall already) somehow Conan is as strong as they are. In any case, the adventure is compelling. The actual "shaman's curse" afflicting Conan is more like a side story than a central feature of the tale, so it loses points for that. There are far worse Conan tales out there. This is one of the better ones.
