Sagas of the Demonspawn is a four issue gamebook series written by J. H. Brennan and illustrated by Geoff Taylor (first two books) and John Blanche (latter two).
The books feature a protagonist named Fire*Wolf [ sic] in a continuing storyline. Unusual for gamebooks, the series is written in third person past tense.
The books have been translated into Danish, dropping the asterisk from the name of the protagonist. [1] The Italian, French and Spanish versions version didn't drop it.
While the series has been criticized for having an ill-designed combat system, the first two books have been praised for the quality of the writing and for targeting an older audience than most gamebooks (such as Brennan's GrailQuest series). [2] Conversely, the latter two books have been described as being "nightmarishly difficult" and having "rushed" writing. [3] [4]
