Good preview, unsatisfying story

This one felt a little too short and lacking conclusion. Unless you read the main books a lot of the terms would be left unexplained, so I'd think you'd be even more confused.

If you've read the series, this is a nice free addition.

If you haven't, check out some of the author's other free titles first. Those a more self-explanatory than this one, so not only do you get a sense of his writing style, but also a complete story.

Wonderful, and Creepy, Short Story

This is a wonderful short story to introduce new listeners/readers to Sullivan's writing. As a fan of his Riyria books, I went in with high expectations and they were met. Makes me look forward even more to getting to reading/listening to the rest of the Legends of the First Empire.

P.S. The bonus excerpt from the first book in that series is a wonderful, horrible tease. Need to make more time to read/listen now...

Not my cup of tea.

Don't care for the writing or narrator. don't think either is exactly bad, I just don't care for it.

Well worth it for the price (it's free)

I have never read (or listened to a book by Michael J. Sullivan before. This short story, as well as a preview of the first book in the series serves well as promotional material. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and now I guess I'm gonna have to go get the first book.

Cutting the yard.

Michael J. Sullivan has some excellent free shorts to introduce you to his writing and the great narration of Tim Reynolds. Without such shorts like Professional Integrity, I may never have found the enjoyment Michael Sullivans stories have brought me. But what I liked the most of this short was the history of how his writing came about and his commitment to providing extra value for his readers. Enjoy your trip into the world of Michael J. Sullivan and the great narration of Tim Reynolds.

Cute

Cute little side story. Wished it was a bit longer but I guess that’s what side stories are lol

Good Short of Suri & Minna

A good prequel to the Legends of the First Empire series.

Sullivan begins this by saying it's a humorous piece, but I didn't find that to be the case, overall. BUT it was still very good.

We see Suri and Minna together.
We learn about Tura's background, including a bit of her parents.

Suri and Minna find their first rol beneath a waterfall. And there...is a pile of bones. If you've read the LotFE series, you can figure out where this is going. Still, it's quite interesting.

Great free tale! Sullivan and TGR a dynamic duo!

Not having read any Legends books, this is a cute tale that seems to give nods to goings on in the main story, but from the perspective of side characters It certainly does whet the appetite for the series!

Pile of Fun

This seems like a YA (maybe even a big child's level) book. But even an adult can enjoy it. I know I did.

interesting

very interesting story. cute & short. which is what I needed today. suggest you read it.
