Review: Remarkable Fantasy Short
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 26, 2012
This short fantasy story is a fast, fun and thought provoking story.  It examines the nature of swords as symbols and the power of symbols.  An interesting, but necessarily small, cast of characters are challenged to understand the myths behind their symbols in order to preserve the cohesion of the realm which relies on their symbols and myths.  This short story can be read in about 15 minutes but it is a very worthwhile and captivating 15 minutes (or so).No major editing or writing issues were noted.  Sword of Kings is 249 Kindle locations long excluding story notes and excerpts for other stories.  Standard length novels seem to run in the 4,500 to 7,000 plus Kindle location range.  Longer books, such as books in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, can range from 15,000 to 20,000 plus Kindle locations.
