This is not as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. Originally The Reiver was published as a short story in the Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance so the story line moves pretty quickly but not so much that you feel you missed out on something. In most compilation short story books you won't see several chapters of character development because a good short story can leave you feeling fulfilled as a reader in under 10K words.Was this the greatest short story I've read? No, but I got the free Kindle version of The Reiver to determine whether or not I should get Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance...I liked it well enough to order it so the 15 minutes I spent downloading and reading this served it's purpose.
