As is typical for me lately, I downloaded this free novel for Kindle because -- well, because it was free from the
limited time offers page. I was immediately pulled in to the story: a
Neil Gaiman-ish approach, but more upbeat. Even when I learned this was a "fantasy genre, see fey / faires" I kept going because it had a "real novel" beat to it.
As much as the fairy stuff might attract readers of that genre, I suspect that Mr Shevdon is doing himself a dis-service by not marketing his novel to a more mainstream audience of fiction readers.
I've already picked up the
sequel, and will see if I feel the same way after reading it.
