Smashwords book reviews by Tom Andry

Witness to Dust on Jan. 11, 2011

A nice short story. There were a few sentences and capitalizations I stumbled over but overall a good read. It felt a bit rushed but that's the nature of short stories. The central idea is a good one and I wouldn't mind reading more in the same setting.
Cow Tipping on Jan. 11, 2011

I get it. The characters seem to be a cross between frat boys and... well, I won't give it away. I think the beginning could have more foreshadowing of the end. It was too short for the reader really empathize with the character at all and in the end, I just ended up not liking them. I'm sure that was the point but I wished I could have found a redeeming trait in the MC. Unfortunately, since this is his "first time," that implies more. Any secondary act negates any guilt he felt about the first. Overall well written and interesting if a bit vulgar.
Ice Cracker II on Jan. 17, 2011

I very much liked this. While it wasn't explained much in the text, you could tell that the characters were well defined and fleshed out. The setting, as mentioned, was original and different for a fantasy setting (with the guns and all). Very, very good and probably one of the best things I've ever read on Smashwords. Looking forward to more.
The Weight of Blood, (The Half-Orcs, Book 1) on Feb. 02, 2011

I read this on the iPad (not sure if I left a review there) but I didn't think it was all that dark. Sure, the protagonists start off on the wrong side but that's nothing new. If anything, it is refreshing to see just how evil they were. Too often the "bad guy gone good" never really reveals all the torturing and maiming they did when they didn't know any better. The problem I had was that I didn't quite feel that the characters felt like (especially the necromancer brother) they wanted to change. It was more that they were forced by the situation. Maybe in later books they will become truly good (which would be a nice way to go with the arc) but for now, I wouldn't be surprised if they turned evil if the opportunity presented itself. Yes, it could do with a once over from a grammar nazi but compared to much of the free fare, it was very nice. I wouldn't recommend it to my mom but I have no problems saying that, for those that don't mind a little blood, it's a very entertaining read. Well done.
The Kind Gods on Feb. 07, 2011

Wonderful. A poignant and interesting tale. Perfectly told at just the right length. Too often these short works feel rushed, longer ones padded. This one had everything it needed and nothing else. I could imagine it being told to an ancient boy before bed to continue the traditions of his people. A great opening scene for a movie. Easily five stars.
