The first thing I noticed was the wonderful illustrations which complimented the story, giving readers great visuals of the characters and scenes.

I found it intriguing that Kenneth Hautala created characters for Nature, Death and Time. Their personalities and appearances are clever.

When a necromancer named Bruab plans to create an undead army to annihilate the world, Nature, Death and Time appoint a newborn baby as champion to defeat Bruab. The baby is not expected to live until the Aspects each give him a blessing that makes him stronger and more agile than others. There are exciting fight scenes because of this that are quite gory, but that's what makes them exciting in my opinion. Haruffa also has an interest power where music constantly plays in his head and alters him to danger by picking up tempo. It was neat to read about the different types of situations that made the music Haruffa hears change. I don't want to give away the plot too much, but after Haruffa goes through a tragedy, he becomes a professional killer.

"Haruffa Tales" is very much a collection of tales chronically Haruffa's childhood and adulthood as he seeks revenge, becomes an assassin, and faces off with Bruab and several other enemies. There's many twists, a sprinkling of humor, and even a bit of light romance.

Overall, it was a unique story that pulp fiction fans will enjoy.
