Smashwords book reviews by M. R. Mathias

  • A Dwarf with No Name on Jan. 06, 2011

    This is a well written fantasy tale that, while billed as a short story, is easily long enough to be considered a novella. I found it engaging. I was taken back to the days when my friends and I would reserve the local library's conference room and play AD&D every weekend. Unlike most game based stories Prior brought his characters to life and filled them with believable quirks and well... Character. My only issue with "The Ant-man" was that the forays into the other places and characters in Prior's world were a bit lengthy and distracting from the immediate tale. I wish I had read more about Otto Blighty and others before reading this. I will definitely be reading his other works now. All in all I feel this is a masterful peek into Prior's style and the world he has created. I recommend it to all fans of fantasy fiction.
  • Erich's Plea: Book One of the Witchcraft Wars on Feb. 24, 2011

    The story was a pleasant suprise, as I expected more of a "Kids" fantasy. This should be enjoyable for fantasy fans of all ages. I'm hoping that Ms. Alley sends me the second book in the series to review, otherwise I will just have to purchase it, because I want to know where she takes these characters. The illustrations were pretty cool too. I read this book in 2010. This review is the same as the one I posted on amazin then.
  • Ursula's Quest: Book Two of the Witchcraft Wars on Feb. 24, 2011

    I loved this book. I love this series. I can't wait for Slade's Destiny! This review is transfered from Amazon.
