Witch Fire: A Dark Fantasy Short

by M.F. Soriano

Horn head. Goat-son bastard. Witch. Athemon is of the caprine race, and because of that he's been called all of these things. The caprines live as second-class citizens in the town of Bonnehampton. Relegated to the poorest quarters and restricted to the lowliest jobs, they go through their days in quiet desperation. This was not always so. The current, humble status of the caprine belies a dark past, and an even darker possible future. Their race is a source of strife, but it can also be a font of power. Athemon is about to learn first-hand the terrible power of his race. Alone among his peers, he has the power to punish those who have oppressed him, and to claim the freedom he has been denied. But freedom isn't free. And payback comes with a price of its own. ( This story is an excerpt from the novel Blood Brothers by M.F. Soriano)

Felt like an epilogue to a prequel...

I have not looked further into this series. However, are reading it and upon completion, I at the last minute grew intrigued. Therefore, my initial statement could possibly way off. Until I read the complete story, based from this short.... Intro? I do not know what something was this like this is truly considered. It doesn't really come across was a short novel, as character development has not peaked. It feel like it's an excerpt, or some form of "-logue", though I do not know what classification it would fall under. If anyone would be willing to help me understand what classification it falls within, I'm happy to hear from you. Any reply to this review would be greatly appreciated. The actual writing itself could be cleaned up a little, but it did finally grow on me and brought out curiosity to want to look into and read the book(s) at some point. Very short read for this particular download. Sounds very interesting to continue...
