review 1: I got this on a lark. I don't usually listen to audio-books and I don't much care for the type of fantasy stories that involve wizards, orcs, elves, dwarfs, and dragons. But I happened upon a chance to listen to it in exchange for an honest review, and figured I'd give it a go (it's only a couple hours long). And I'm glad to say that I was thoroughly entertained throughout. The beginning was a bit heavy on the world building data dumps, but it didn't bother me much. And I think this was helped by the smooth, professional (and British) narration. After the world setup was finished, and the story began, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a quite dark and gritty little tale, like high fantasy noir.
review 2: This was a short novella that was well-wri... moretten, descriptive and managed to build an intriguing, fantastical world in about 50 pages. The characters were quite well fleshed out and interesting and comprised of the typical races of a fantasy story--humans, mages, wizards, elves, and dwarves. There was even a hint of dragons...one of my favourite magical beings. I believe this short story is the prelude to a full-length novel, and I am intrigued and scintillated enough by this tantalising morsel to want to pursue the next adventures in Mr. Day's imaginary world. Highly recommended to fans of the genre. less
