Mike Shackle and 1 other person liked Danielle 's review of A Lost Cause: A Tale of The Last War: A dark fantasy short story: "I always thought I knew what happened to Yas and Ro but it was left a little open-ended in The Last War series.

Mike Shackle liked Dorszedo 's review of A Lost Cause: A Tale of The Last War: A dark fantasy short story: "Wow. This is what i thought when i read this tale. This is Dark fantasy of its best meaning. I have no doubt that Mike Shackle is as good in the short form as he is in the long form. All grim-dark fantasy funs must read this."
