So I think my biggest problem with the storm breaker books is that the sword is so powerful vrs regular folks that the author keeps throwing him against enemies that are immune to it by being a construct or some such. while any fight with things the sword does work on are just a vague description of how easy it was with the sword. Also what the sword does is kind of vague. The soul stealing is obvious and when it steals more souls it flames so good intimidation. It also appears to use the souls to increase the wielders stamina but that seems about it so far. I just expected more with how much it is praised. It does cut through most things which is advantageous for sure. could be intentionally subtle. I think he needs to do more description of the combat basically. I did hear he improves as he goes so maybe he will get there.
I do like how old school D&D the books feel though.
I feel like the bears and under wear should rhyme better then it does in your use and I just can't get it to click in my head.
Parsley, sage, lemon, thyme I don't care about your rhyme scheme.
Spicy retort.
Curry flurry you'll lose this match in a hurry.
If I start a fire, you'll just end up on the pyre.
I think it was the new hire... he strikes me as a liar.
Then he would have to take a hike.. I think his name was mike.
Real question. Why am I seeing parents wearing masks but not their kids? like complete wtf is this crap?
I like that you kept the rhyme. That is a good time.

He tends to keep things light on technical description, really because (in my opinion) it's more about the overall mood and atmosphere, and he doesn't want to affect your sense of immersion by getting bogged down in explaining how things might work. The stories are also short and move along at a fair clip, so I don't think there's really room for that sort of thing,
The two swords (Stormbringer and Mournblade) are extremely powerful entities in their own right who happen to take that form, and the question as to whether Elric owns the sword, or the other way around is an open one...
Incidentally, get a hold of the Stormbringer/Elric RPG if you happen to run across a copy. Stormbringer's stats in that are ridiculous.

Sometimes you got to lurk, sometimes you got to work.
Because gran's side job is a stripper. he depends on good tippers.
It would be a wild ride as long as you don't get swept up by the tide.
That put me in awe of what I saw
That's worth some pride for your pa. Maybe also your Ma.
That sort of skills break the law, not even a little faux pas.
It made the birds caw and the fish unable to close their jaw.
Not a flaw that you can touch with your claw oh pshaw.
Just had to let those juices thaw, and spit it raw.

Someone's TV wasn't working. Not usually a issue I have to deal with but it's good to know the tried and true turn it off and back on again still works.
I like your other night auditor. For some reason I gave him a heavy Irish accent in my head for the fairies comment.
I miss my old manager very zero tolerance for scammer guests. we would black list them so fast... you would think black listing people would hurt business too but actually we did better then then we ever have.
It's good if you fry it with brown sugar but way to high in calories.
