Meh

This story had promise but ultimately felt a bit goofy to me. The narrator really didn't help. She was stiff and artificial. The overall effect was underwhelming.

Imaginative

A short story of warring wizards and the powers. Wish it were longer.

Daniela Acitelli did a great job narrating.

Way too short because it’s so good

Christine doesn’t believe in magic or mystical powers, but when she survives an explosion, she is suddenly in the most of magic mystery and wizards. The story is fast but a very interesting one. it would be a great start to a larger story. Author weaves a great story

Not a bad start

I thought this was a decent start to a story. The story ends quickly so it feels more like the preface to the full story. I had to listen to it a few times because I got lost and then it ended; but, as I listened to it again I started to enjoy the story and the narrator more. I really enjoyed the part where the protagonist complains about her outfit after leaving the hospital. Both the lines and the narrator's voice were spot on in my mind.

Perryton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Warning: there is some language, so it's not for children.

I think the publisher's summary is more than enough to summarize the short story, so I won't touch much on plot. Hearing Agent Piercing say he got D in transfiguration at Perryton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry made me think it was a harry potter fanfic. Of course, the mediocre students always go into government, so no surprise there! I thought it a little weird the author calls them necromancers when they don't seem to raise the dead. I was hoping for more on that point in the story, but it's really more focused on the warlocks (or are they wizards?).

I thought the narrator was ok, but nothing memorable. She didn't really convince me that Agent Piercing was full of confidence, or that Christine was hysterical after the fight.
