I was aware before start­ing Shadow and Claw that it was not pedes­trian fic­tion. It is not some­thing to plow through, or relax with. It is an allegory-heavy, lit­er­ary, fan­tas­tic tale. Hav­ing said that, it's about a tor­turer who is exiled from his guild, ends up with a mys­te­ri­ous and pow­er­ful relic, and then sleeps with a lot of women and com­pares them. He also oils and bran­dishes his sword a lot.
