Vox Day in his Selenoth series really shines. Epic fantasy with an undeniable logic train to the story. No need for sudden magical appearances to save the day. Selenoth is my most favorite fantasy series, and I have read quite a lot of multi tome series. My only wish is that Vox would speed up his writing...PS: Since the comparison with Lord Of The Rings is often made, no this is not as rich as LOTR. But I do like the story much better than LOTR, imo Selenoth is much more believable than LOTR

A Magic Broken edition by Vox Day Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I do not understand awards nominations. I've read Mr. Day's award nominated work and it was good. Yet as I read more of his stories they seem to be even better than the nominated work. So far he keeps exceeding my expectations, and my expectations keep growing with every story that I read. Brick by brick he builds a compelling narrative...Hell, it's almost like reading an rpg tie-in, except this time it isn't total crap! It is really good!
I have not read the series, but this little book was interesting enough that I just may decide to do so.
Although the length does not allow for much elaborate world building or character development, it still managed to do its job--peak my interest in this world and characters. We have Dwarves, Elves, and the hint of Dragons. Being a lover of epic fantasy, that's enough for me. The writing was clear and the action scenes were well scripted.
I love writing where the author has a command of language and Vox Day does. The characters speak as you would expect them to never revealing any modern phrases that can jar the reader out of the fantasy world created. Each character speaks as their caste would. The story itself is entertaining and self contained enough to be satisfying while creating interest in further reading. Well done.
A tale of skullduggery and magic in a city where everything is for sale. An elf has been sold into slavery and there will be a price to be paid, but who will pay it and will the coin be gold or blood? Reminiscent of the swords-and-skullduggary of "Thieves World" this tale of murder, corruption and magic is a fine prequel to "A Throne of Bones" and a must for lovers of Selenoth.
A Magic Broken by Vox Day is the first, but not last, book of this author that I've read. I really enjoyed this novella which is a prequel to his epic fantasy series.
Captain Nicolas du Mere has been sent to the city of Malkan to retrieve a stolen item. Lodi, a dwarf who is there to free some younger dwarves decides that he also would like to profit from the stolen item. I don't want to give it away, but it's a race as to who gets there first and what happens.
It was an enjoyable introduction to a series that now I will go on to read.
This novella is the first book recommended by the author to start first on his epic fantasy series. For 50 pages of medieval heist story, it's excellent. Albeit, the two protagonists are not the purest of heart by any stretch of imagination. Nicolas du Mere, the agent infiltrating the walled city of Malkan is almost a classic case of sociopath. He has no almost no remorse on the sets of events that he initiated and finished, leaving behind quit a few corpse. As other reviewers have noted, even though more than half of the narration are from his point of view, he does not allow his own true self to be revealed. At least not in this novella.
By contrast, Lodi the dwarven former gladiator-slave turn self-employed entrepreneur hired by some concern dwarven parents to rescue some fool hearted youths was much more straight forward. He wants to get his job done, but isn't above going an extra mile to turn extra profit, even though it might be considered unethical.
Unfortunately, I read the novel "A Throne of Bones" first, so events in this novella was referred in several passages, and I was not able to get the final plot twist unspoiled.
Good stand-alone novella and a nice prequel for some of the action in A Throne of Bones. This is a well written story about honorable dishonor among thieves, where both protagonists are after the same enslaved elf. The action is realistic gritty, and frequent bloody. Life is cheap in a rich city, but knowledge is costly and deadly. The story comes to and end with several plot twists and a timer for an unresolved future murder. Definitely full of dark humor and cruelty, like a properly guilty pleasure.
Vox Day in his Selenoth series really shines. Epic fantasy with an undeniable logic train to the story. No need for sudden magical appearances to save the day. Selenoth is my most favorite fantasy series, and I have read quite a lot of multi tome series. My only wish is that Vox would speed up his writing...
