5.0
Lengthwise, the sheer complexity the author has managed to accomplish in this is outstanding; a thirty-page story has no business being this intense.
The Six Deaths of the Saint is a dark and twisted tale of loyalty, loneliness, and ambition. It poses the question of how far one is willing to go for glory and sheds light on the darker side of legends: the grit, the blood, and the failures that precede the songs of praise.
Despite my enduring mistrust of second person narrative, I have immensely enjoyed the storytelling in this one: as brutally epic as it is privately tender. Truly a masterpiece.
