review 1: Let me warn you: this story is hilarious and you are likely to laugh your way through it. I mean, the opening sentence alone got me hooked, and that was followed by a gradual discovery of all the secrets of this fairy tale world. A dragonshifter after a virginal prince asleep in a crumbling stone tower? The dragon’s sidekick wanting nothing but to eat the guy? This short story has it all, and was a total delight.Blaze, a dragon shifter living with seven others of his kind as roommates, is determined to solve the puzzle of his attraction to the old stone tower, overgrown by weeds, of course. When they get in and begin to discover the tower’s secrets, the real hilarity ensues. Naturally, this involves all the traditional elements of a good fairy tale but in a somewhat un... moreusual combination and setup. There is a virginal prince, a curse, an evil wizard, a fairy godmother – you name it, it’s in this story.I you like fairy tales, but prefer them in “reinvented” format, if you’re ready for a laugh or two at the sheer hilarity of these characters and their circumstances, and if you’re looking for a read that is cute as well as very romantic, in the most traditional sense, then you will probably like this free short story. Just expect the unexpected in this original and creative tale of old school chivalry with a twist.
review 2: It's got a foot through the fourth wall. In fact, it feels slightly off kilter, as if it's not quite aligned right in the "room" as plot analogy and is instead partly through the fourth wall.It's a bit obvious at times, like actors going through the plot so impatiently they can't not reveal that they're working their way through the lines. It's not quite lampshaded, though, so it just becomes rather annoying. less
