I'll bet a lot of you have forgotten I have a perpetually FREE novelette over on Smashwords Its title is "The Blessing of Krozem" and while it's been downloaded almost 600 times, I have only four reviews. Give it a try -- according to the latest review, it's worth reading! And another review is always appreciated!
Here is the new 5-star review:
A wonderfully fantastical world is brought to life by the author Lorinda J. Taylor. A rich descriptive narrative evokes a strange world inhabited by mortal humans, and immortal Troils. The reason why the Zem’l made the Troil live forever and not the humans, is steeped in mythology and the dreaming of Zem’l.
This is a very intriguing story about the need to live longer than you should, that kept me reading on. It is quite a philosophical story at the core, as well as being an entertaining fantasy read. Great use of language and interesting names help to place this story in a fantasy world.
A very well-written short read with a deeper, more involved theme to it than most fantasy works I have read. Internal struggle, greed and pathos are all present here. Such universal themes only add to the pleasure of reading this novella. The author has a gift for prose and I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story beautifully written. Lovely cover illustration by the author too. I would have loved to have seen more of her drawings in the book.
The review is by Nikki McDonagh. You can find her books at this Amazon link.
