I love Martinez. Too Many Curses is my favorite of all his books but I eagerly await each new one.
Funny but not helpful
Me too! I guess another Constance Verity book would be next. He did say he was asked to do a trilogy. I'm looking forward to it. A full-blown sequel isn't something he's done before. Short follow ups yes but not a full novel.
Speaking of short stories:
Chosen. Wren and Hess' setting.
World's Cutest Direwolf
What does the sword even get out of tricking farmboys into assaulting necromancers?
Funny but not helpful
Thats a good question. Judging by the bit about 'enchanted' swords being churned out for the novelty factor, I'm thinking it has limited intelligence and can just say certain stock heroic things. It also lacks object permanence, so....

Damn. That actually sounds shittier for everyone involved than my assumption that the sword was an intelligent and intentionally deceptive actor. Jives better with the fact that the sword didn't get sentenced, so you're probably on the money.
It does make me wonder about the person who made idiot swords and decided they should hate necromancers, though.
I'm so happy that this thread exists. Constance Verity and Emperor Mollusk might be my favorite of his books.
World's Toughest Milkman
Just recently discovered Martinez myself, and have quickly become a fan. I've been plowing through his books fairly quickly. Was surprised to spot this thread, because, despite growing up deep inside science fiction fandom (I'm a third generation SF fan), I'd never heard the name before. Definitely nice to know I'm not his only fan.
I'd have a hard time picking a favorite, since his stuff has a refreshing amount of variety, but I might lean toward Emperor Mollusk vs. the Sinister Brain, which turns so many ancient SF tropes on their heads.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Martinez’s site crashed or got redone at some point so all the stories are gone so all the links in this thread lead nowhere now
Is a shame. I’ve emailed Martinez to ask if the stories will be put back up but haven’t gotten a response.
But in cool news Monster was made into a Hong Kong movie called Monster Run
