The Fall

I got this as an added bonus attached to Of Blood and Fire's audiobook, so naturally I had to continue right into it. 

I think something this novella does really well is the perspectives. In this sense, it's giving you the lives of four individuals during the fall of the dragon order. Therefore, it's not 100 pages of lore and world building dump, it's actually showing you through the eyes of people there (and maybe a face or two we already know?). In such a short span of time the author packs such a heavy punch. The amount of heart in this one is crazy for it's size. It also does a very good job of distancing itself from the others of its kind that people relate it to. This one to me read as it's own entity entirely. 

If I had one gripe it would be that with it being short, I still didn't feel like this told one single concise story. I'm still not entirely sure what happened to the order, nor do I really know what caused its fall, nor do I really further understand the villain yet. But there is another novella incoming that I saw, so perhaps that'll continue on the background lore. 

Worth your time, effort, or money to read or listen! The audio quality is great!
