Review: Just not that good

I was looking forward to reading this short story, but there's really not much here to involve the reader. And I don't mean because the story is short or brief; I mean that the content of it is flat and uninteresting to me. There is no real sense of the unexpected or of fantasy.The author's intention and the outcome of this short are obvious from word one, and the fantasy/magical element is confined to the mere mention of wizard robes and a few magical spells. The overall storytelling felt predictable, bland, and almost factual in style, and could not gain my interest.The actual story Dorrin's End is 77 locations. The rest of the download consists of excerpts from the author's other works, but this short story just didn't grab me enough to make me want to check out the excerpts that followed.
