Quick Funny Tale

I used a credit on this tiny story on accident. I saw it pop up as a recommendation, and since I had listened to the other two books in this series, I clicked on purchase without realizing it was only 45 minutes long. I was going to return it so as not to waste a credit on a story so short, but decided to go ahead and give it a listen. The story itself was very enjoyable despite it's length. While the other books in this series have some humor in them, it's clear from the beginning that humor will be the leading theme of this story, complete with goat sounds. Kim Bretton's narration was wonderful as always.

Not sure if this is worth a full credit being how short it is, but I have to say I did enjoy it.

Loved it! Writer and Narrator THE BEST!

My favourite genre, a brilliant writer, a narrator unequaled - just pure joy and a perfect addition to my Rob Hayes library.

Cliffs notes of the cliffs notes

I don’t mind that this exists, I love the trilogy and ended up buying many of his other series that I have yet to listen to yet because of it. This novella however so so short it begs the question of what the point was. Not detailed enough to justify selling it and the idea that I may have spent a whole audio credit on it is absurd. I paid like $3 on Amazon instead which still seems kinda steep considering. It’s 45 min long, 30 for my listening speed. The idea seemed so interesting and I wanted to see more of the century blades story and it’s almost to rushed to be enjoyable at all.
