Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues by J.M. Martin
3.0
Hmm, i helped to kickstart this book, as the subject matter appealed, and a couple of authors i have a lot of respect for (Django Wexler being on a high with me at the moment).
Some of the stories hit the mark (Mr Sullivan never fails), while other missed in massively.
I generally read these books by well known authors so i have a little taster of their work, so i might be tempted with their novels. This didn't really happen here, so i will just have to go through my TBR pile instead :)
Compared to a lot of anthologies, this is one of the best out there for fantasy settings.
