*I received this book free to read and review. Thanks to Mark Gelineau and Joe King through Netgalley.

Reaper of Stone is a short, quick read that sucks you in from the beginning. I thought that it was a tad slow at times, but I overall enjoyed the pace of the story. It was a nice amount of length, not too long but not too short so that I was left unsatisfied. I really enjoyed getting to know Elinor in this short story. I love the history of the world of Aedaron throughout the Echoes of the Ascended short stories. I cannot wait to get back into Elinor's story.

I won this novella in a goodreads giveaway!
This is fantasy stripped down to the essentials: a developed mythical world, a powerhungry villain, and only the underdog heroine can defeat him. Short, but brilliant.

I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

This was a fun, short read. The story was original and innovative. I was pleasantly surprised at how the authors managed ti create such a complex and intricate world in so little words; politics, old mythology, societal structure and so on. Although the book, more so a short story, was short, it was complete.

The only down side, is that the reader is bombarded with information in the first fifth of the story. I had to reread passages to make sure I know which character was who and doing what. As the story goes on, however, it all makes more sense, because the reader understands the characters and their roles. 

I would have liked to see a little more of Colin in the story too. He is in the prologue, and I would have thought him of more importance in the plot, but I assume he will be more present in the second instalment.
