The narrative is easy to understand since the author uses simple words and scenarios we can relate to. It is also suitable for individuals who love action and drama, as seen in the part where Conan fights the dragon. In another scene, the king changes into a vampire and wants to take Valeria as a sacrifice. Even though the Red Nails book creates a scene that appears barbaric and uses a lot of strange magic, it is still one of the best books to teach about becoming fearless. When Howard wrote the book, women had more limited rights than men, and he was trying to pass a message to encourage them to be bold.
