Heroes Die by Matthew Woodring Stover
This started out in the middle ages with an assasin trying to kill a king. And it was really enjoyable. I guess I middle age assasins. Like Brent Weeks. Funny as I find it miserable to write about assasins myself. But then it turned out it was some virtual reality thing and it's really some science fiction, including a vernacular way of speaking that's extremely annoying. So much for this.
