Sagas of the Demonspawn


Sagas of the Demonspawn is a four issue gamebook series written by J. H. Brennan and illustrated by Geoff Taylor and John Blanche.
The books feature a protagonist named Fire*Wolf in a continuing storyline.
Unusual for gamebooks, the series is written in third person past tense.
The books have been translated into Danish, dropping the asterisk from the name of the protagonist. The Italian, French and Spanish versions version didn't drop it.

Reception

While the series has been criticized for having an ill-designed combat system, the first two books have been praised for the quality of the writing and for targeting an older audience than most gamebooks.
Conversely, the latter two books have been described as being "nightmarishly difficult" and having "rushed" writing.
