My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
The Rue Stone is a short and sweet fantasy story, right around 100 pages. The world is a lot like our own but there are a few differences, such as the rue. I enjoyed the history of the rue, and Arval’s reaction when he meets Janna for the first time at the inn. Can you imagine waiting on someone whose hair and eyes keep changing colors? I would think it’d be difficult to concentrate on what they were ordering.
I liked The Rue Stone as far as it went. I wish there had been more about Janna and Arval’s relationship and more about Arval himself. Hopefully, there’s more to come in this world. One thing that would have made the story even better for me is if it had been edited.
About the Author
Having written all of my life, I decided to self-publish my writing when I turned 50. I have published four books since then. Two are collections of short stories; Dark & Fluffy; Dark & Fluffy II and 500 Words, which is flash fiction. My latest book The Rue Stone is a fantasy novella.
My passion is medieval fiction, and I am working on my first novel The Little Servant – The Wait’s Son, set in the 12th century, in Lincoln, where I live.
All four books are available on Amazon.
