Great self-contained story

Quality short story. Just enough characters to establish believable relationships, not too many to muddle the waters. It also has a clear focused plot which hints at the right amount of history. This could definitely be the origin story to a larger world.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Good short story, but feels like a prologue

The author manages to cram quite a bit of content into this action packed short story. The story was well written and I liked the narration. While some of the conflict does get wrapped up, it very much feel like it's the first chapter to a larger story.

A Terrific Short Story! 4.5 Exciting Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a well written, well told short story that has an original and interesting storyline. Kayla Krantz created a fascinating and imaginative world. The lead character Panea, the protector of the mysterious box that has been passed down for generations. This story may be short but it packs a punch once that box is left unprotected. No spoilers here but some out of this world things start happening, there is a lot of drama, action, twists, mystery and suspense. Kayla Krantz fits a lot of story into 34 minutes, one I hope she builds on it. Thank you for this great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Kay Mack did a nice job narrating and telling the story.

Fast story needs more

I received this book for free at my request the following review is of my own. This story was definitely too short. Just as things are rolling along and you are hooked it ends. This needs to be longer must know more of what happens to the box and the creatures.

the box

I didn't realize this was a short story. it was interesting but left you hanging.

So much imagery!

I was listening to this book and wasn't sure what I was in for. Usually when I think "box" I think a personal hell or prison. This box was not a personal hell, at least not for the person telling the story. It was so good that I wished there was more to it.

Good book

This book had such a great story. The narrator done a great job telling the story! Looking forward to listening to the next book by this author.

The Box

Seems like this should have been longer or contained a bit more detail. But I enjoyed it either way

Good really short story

If you like really short stories then you’ll like this. The story premise is great, but it really doesn’t go anywhere. For the 30 some minutes it does go it’s great.

Thrilling story telling!

This book threw me for a spin. I must listen again and again. Definitely buy this book if you are interested in dark fantasy. I am still pondering the ending and can't wait for the next book. Don't miss out on this great title. Just listen!

Good book

Really enjoyed this little story , I think the authors should do a follow up of this ! The narrator was great and the box !!! Wow , it has been left open for the protagonist to have more great adventures, we need more as it was too short , and I don’t mean that as a down side it just means I could’ve listened for hours .
