Arisa: a world of loss and hardship; of legend and wonder; the world of A Warrior's Path. Return there now with Stories from Arisa, a short story collection featuring four wonderful new fables from that mythic place; each one a polished gem; together, an assemblage spanning the realms of hope, humor, tragedy, loss, and love.

"Received Wisdom"

The Baels of the Eastern Plague have fallen away from Hume's teachings. It is Li-Dirge who finds leadership thrust upon him. He must challenge the SarpanKum and return his brothers to the path of fraternity.

"The Prank"

The House of Fire and Mirrors. The Fort and the Sword. Both are Kumma military academies and fierce rivals in the city of Ashoka. The Wrath is the annual competition between the two schools, deciding bragging rights for the next year, but it is the Prank that dictates who laughs last and longest. This year, it is especially important for Rukh, Keemo, Farn, and Jaresh.

"A Lesson Learned"

Drin Port only wanted a long, tall drink. Many long, tall drinks. When chance brings him the opportunity of a lifetime, will he have the wisdom to take advantage of it?

"The Missing Diamond"

Rector Bryce is called upon to investigate a missing diamond. The thief is not at all who he would have expected.

I fully expected that there would be closure or at least a continuance of Jazeera and Rukh's story. there is still so much that i want to hear about Arisa. for example... Defiance. Suwraitth is gone but there was still so much unexplained at the end you could write two more books about it. here's hoping that happens because the trilogy was fantastic.

4 stories...thats it?

Generally I don't like reviews of short stories that say they are too short. Seriously, what do you expect? But I have to make an exception here because these stories are too short, even by short story standards.

Most of them are so short that they lack depth, particularly the one featuring Rector Bryce. I wish Ashura had fleshed out one or two stories even a little, rather than including 4 tiny ones. They had promise, and I like the idea of learning a little more about Arisa. My favorite of the 4 was the one about the baels, which did show some depth despite its length.

I wish I could go to the places books describe but you know what they say about wish’s in one hand and the stuff in the other . I was disappointed when I finished A Warriors Penance because I thought that world had ended, then I found The Stories from Arisa . Then I rose up and followed the Warriors into the low hills. T. B.

I loved the full books and thus felt i wanted to try this. It does tie the knot on some of the events from previous books but it's way too short, would even say so short that it's not worth the coin unfortunately.

I was expecting a continuation of the 3rd book, but this was more or less a prequel. This probably should have been book 1. The jumps from character to character, laying the ground works to characters we have a good idea about already.So the book comes off as point as each character wasn't a deep dive. I'll give it a 3 due to Nick's excellent voice work, but the story is a 2.

Abit point less
