Omg so good

I recently learned about Niven from an interview with James Cameron. Can’t wait to get into his novels.

Well-done!

Branson Pinchot covered the four roles entertainly and effectively. All involved did this masterpiece justice!

Wizard versus Warrior

I’ve never thought of Larry Niven as a fantasy writer, but in this quick tale he shows what he can do with the genre as a classic wizard versus warrior confrontation blossoms. It’s lots of fun.

I want to know more

I have been a MTG fan for over a year. Great to hear where it began

Enjoyable Short

I always find Larry Niven stories ver enjoyable. He is one of my favorite authors of all time.

Good but not great. Niven is a great writer but like all short stories his endings should be much better.

Cleanly told

The main tale is a cleanly told story with a Twilight zone worthy ending. The second story is a classic that will greatly amuse any swords and sorcery fan.

Fun

this was a fun short story and full of enjoyable banter. I could use some of those youth spells myself...
