I have become increasingly in love with Thoma's stories! When I first started reading, I was worried that the characters and plots would be cliche (especially with the introduction of the angsty elf). However, she certainly proved me wrong quickly. Despite being short stories, she does a wonderful job making the characters realistic and fascinating. All of the main characters had inner conflicts which gets resolved quite neatly. The plot and the "world" in each story is original and well-written. The third story is the longest but the first two are my favorites because it was just so unexpected.I found nothing particularly bad about the stories. At most, the stories felt too short (which is expected since, duh, they ARE short stories). They were long enough to get you hooked but not enough for you to feel satisfied.Pro: Interesting world and realistic characters, nice twistsCon?: too shortOverall, I would recommend this book to any fantasy fan who's ready to experiment and try a new author. I'm unsure if this book is actually worth the price since it's short enough to be done in an hour. I will just have to leave it to you. If you find this book enjoyable then you will certainly love her other book "Rex Rising". I know I did!Won in a giveaway in return for an honest review
