First of all, Dwarves with guns??? Badass. You made that work completely. And overall this was an amazing read. I absolutely dig the entire world you’ve created here and all I can say is that it’s so damn unique, paired with your amazing writing voice that just exudes fun fantasy mixed with heartfelt tragedy. I love your D’Veen tales.

Haha, thank you! I was worried dwarves with guns would be a bridge too far, haha, but I agree that it turned out pretty good! Really glad you enjoyed this one, and D’veen as a whole.

As someone who is primarily a horror writer, I never expected to get so attached to a fantasy realm, but the scifi elements of D’veen keep pulling me back.

Plenty more to come as we build up to my series set in D’veen that I have planned called “The Order of the Pawn.”

Yeah I think the surprise factor really helps and I just overall can’t help but feel your writing and world building allow it all to come together in a believable way. It’s amazing and I’m looking forward to it.

Yeah, I felt like this really humanized him. It’s not an idea I would have come up with, but that prompt I got the other day was exactly the inspiration I needed. Thanks for the amazing review as always!

Thanks for checking it out! More tales from D'veen are coming soon, including ones that will reveal more about Finton Merrybrook. Not to mention, we have the series on the horizon as well!

Many more tales to tell, that's for sure!

Thank you! Your prompt really challenged me to think about D'veen's history in a new light. I figured framing it as a legend leaves things open to interpretation, so it doesn't clash with the broader series lore.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out, Mina! I know this was a longer piece, but I didn't want to interrupt the flow by separating it into multiple parts. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
