Awesome!

This is a very short fantasy novel that takes a creative look at the cycles of birth and death. One reason I love this author is how he thinks outside the box. I also like the cover. They are the reasons why I give it a four stars. I did not give five stars for I was greedy and wished the story was longer.

An interesting tale about the life of a man who is, ultimately, a human.

Kindle Unlimited or got on freebie day depending on which story/collection. Very odd writer, not a bad thing, unusual, and for someone such as me that read, a LOT {10-20 or more book, a DAY} that's saying something. If I missed any or it says not verified {because no matter how many hundreds have spent over the last 3 years, plus ku, never says verified on mine unless freebie day etc} the writer can feel free to send them to me lol {kidding}. The more I read of him, the more the southern 'bless his heart' kicks in, wondering just how many times and ways that poor boy was dropped on his head, how hard, and if on purpose. Interesting reading though...because of?

Lee Isserow is a Brit; that explains some of 'it' but not all; writes about a book a day I think no that doesn't sound right, maybe it's a book a month, that's still a lot of books, check out his amazon page.

“TO THE WORLD, THE Shaman was close to death. His heartbeat had slowed to the point where any layman that might check it would be almost certain that his spirit had passed on.”

I really took nothing from this short story if I am being honest, which I always am. It was my own mistake that I did not originally read far enough to understand that this was derived from a full novel. Perhaps, if I read the book it might have connected with me in some form. Since I had no true knowledge of the magician or any real back story, I had nothing to build upon and it was lost on me.

I was expecting the story of a dying mage, which is what was presented. But this mage meant so little to myself, that his death was of no true consequence. The writing was decent and steady. The descriptions of the forest were promising. I think this might be worth a glance for those who are actually familiar with the Shadowmancer. So I am giving it three simple stars.

I enjoyed this short story very much. Lee Isserow has a powerful imagination which factors immensely in this fascinating tale of magic and maturity.

A really peculiar read, though very descriptive. The emphasis was more on description than it was actual story.
