30 Unique Magical Blades by Rite Publishing
This product is 16 pages long. It starts with a cover, and credits. (2 pages)
Next it jumps into the weapons. (11 pages)
Below is a list of weapons, they are listed in order from cheapest to most expensive. That’s how they was listed in the book and I just C&Ped the list for the review. Each weapon has a short history and lore about the weapon, they also each do something unique and special. I will give some details about a few of them to give you a feel for what to expect.
Horse Daughter's Kiss - +1 Glaive, when used against a rider. The rider must make a ride check to stay mounted and receives a penalty equal to the damage done by the weapon.
Bloodthorn
Joyous Cleft
Ebon Crow
Quinmoash
Crowd Pleaser

Song of Summer
Rivertongue
Bear Stalker - +1 short sword, animal bane(bears), +4 survival.
Bloody Moon
Thunderblow

Blue Reaver - +2 shock longsword. Acts like a torch for light on command and once per day works like whirlwind feat regardless if you posses the feat or not.

Drac'Malfas
Raven
Exaltation

It ends with OGL and 2 ads. (3 pages)
Closing thoughts. While it is called unique blades it is really weapons, while most of them are swords, not all of them are. There is some axes, spear, pole-arm’s etc in there as well. As you can see by the examples they are all normal magic items that fit the theme and history of the weapon, then with a little something more. Most of the weapons have images, I counted 29 images but I might have missed one. The art work is good for the weapons and really helps to give a sense of what they look like. The history and fluff is well done, the book is pretty, good layout, editing etc.
I really have no critic of the book, the only thing I have negative to say is more of a nitpick. I wish the book was about 2 pages longer and each weapon given a bit more in terms of history. What was there was good but I would have loved to see more, especially on some of the higher end items. So what's my rating? Well it gives what it claims in a stylish well done way, while I would have liked to have had even more, the product gives what it claims and does it well. So giving it a 5 star review.
