this review will be used for both the prequel free novella “gladiator’s sanctuary (gladiators of vagabond #0.5)” and “beast unburdened (gladiators of vagabond #1).”

gladiator’s sanctuary (#0.5): they fucked way too soon and the action was rushed. the side-side characters lacking names beyond male and female and having no characteristics used to define them from each other made combat sequences confusing. 2/5.

beast unburdened (#1): TBR
