And They Were Never Heard From Again by Benedict Patrick - free shortstory

ATWNHFA is a short story set in the same forest as They Mostly Come Out At Night. It takes place over less than 24 hours, and things escalate quickly, well it’s more of a constant crescendo of stress. I suspect it has a bit of information about how Yarnsworld works

I think this could be a good choice for some people looking check out some LitRPG, but aren’t really that familiar with game mechanics. Lemme explain Bloodwraith, formally an undead necromancer, switched bodies with the adventurer that almost killed him.Now finds himself reincarnated in the adventurer’s body, starting out in

The narration was good, high quality like all audible originals I’ve tried, though not as intense or showy as some others. It’s got the noir vibe, with the lone guy, good at his job doing things that other frown on, who has to solve a mystery, involving some shady characters.

Sorting through my bingo squares last year, I realized that I have a lot of books that fit the underrated square, under 2500 Goodreads ratings, and they’re also some of my favorites that deserve some serious lovin. So I’m gonna try writing reviews in 50 words of so. Goodreads ratings

About the audiobook: The audiobook has a narration choice that I did not agree with, and it did not agree with me. Six of Crows is structured in chapters from the POV of the main characters. Each character is narrated by a different person, so that means that in dialogues

It’s a super interesting and fun read, I loved it. Not the best idea to read this while I was travelling as I’m sure I ended up eating 3 times more snacks than would have been reasonable. I can’t believe I’m saying this but medieval food sounds awesome. There was

Son of a Liche is the sequel to Orconomics by J Zachary Pike, which I loved and thought was great satire. My only real issue with Orconomics was that the story itself seemed a bit generic. Well, Son of Liche has that taken care of. The story is great in

This is my “random noblewoman” Cosplay mistcloak from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I really wanted to cosplay a character from a fantasy book and this was really the obvious choice for something easily recognizable.
