Flash fiction Grimdark!

12 March 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A nice short (very short, actually) slice of Grimdark. A female warrior comes across a savage sacking of a village by a group of Bonemen. Taking it upon herself to free the children the Bonemen have taken, our warrior bites off a bit more than she can chew but is fortunately aided by another prisoner and a new friendship is born.
A little on the short side but a bloody little tale featuring a strong female lead I'd like to read more from.

Quick, Fun Grimdark Read

23 March 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

With Forsaken, Eric S. Fomley pens an ultra fast-paced story introducing his Princess of Grimdark: Ayla. This badass heroine leaping off the pages at you, ready to rip out your throat with her bare hands. Her brutal presence and shadowy past instantly inspiring a deep desire to know more, More, MORE!

Be warned though, this first installment is very, very brief; a quick glimpse into Ayla’s brutal world, where intense combat and bloody death can happen any second. All of it written in a smooth, clean style which is easy to devour and can be enjoyed in a single sitting. But it isn’t meant to completely satisfy your grimdark yearns, rather it is very much like a tv episode where you are encouraged to immediately go on to the next to learn more, More, MORE!

The only complaint I can level at Forsaken is that it is too short. Once Ayla had me in her grip, I wanted to witness more of her visceral confrontations, learn more about her hidden history, and see where her path leads from this beginning. Alas, the vagrant princess released me too soon, disappearing back into the mist from whence she came.

As a sucker for quick, episodic fantasy, I’m optimistic about the future of Eric S. Fomley’s The Exiled Crown series. The fact that it is an unabashedly grimdark only makes me hunger more for the next installment. Really can’t wait to see where this new Princess of Grimdark goes from here.

Great short story

27 June 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So this was another short story I devoured in what felt like 5 minutes. It’s only 30 pages, so that might’ve been the case.

It’s basically about Ayla—a Princess but not the Disney kind—rescuing a group of children from slavers. It’s a quick introduction to her character, and a hello from a secondary character that I imagine will have a bigger role in upcoming books.

With this being so singularly focused and short, I think I’d be hard pressed not to like it. We’ve got a kickass female character. She doesn’t stand for children being taken as slaves. And she’s willing to tackle impossible situations she deems worthy. Unfortunately, the world is hardly explored at all. She’s exiled, there’s a king that’s not hers, but an ally, but not. Honestly, the king part lent more confusion than answers, but it’s a setup for the next story, I’m guessing; just a small bite of information. Without much more explored, it’s hard to talk about anything else.

The writing is smooth, the pacing great. Obviously so since I read it so quickly. My only negative is that it’s so short when it could have been drawn out just a tad bit more to make room for some more character/world building.

Overall, it’s a great introduction to an upcoming author and short story series. If you need something to read while dinner is cooking, give it a go.

Can't wait to move on to the second :)

This was a great read. It looks to be the start of a great story. The author did a great job of packing a good amount of entertainment in this short story.

The main character was enjoyable and I found myself rooting for her, despite getting only a few pages to get to know her. The fight scene was beautifully written.

I am excited to see where this goes so I will definitely be moving on to the next book.

Great read

I have to admit I rarely spend time reading short stories, but this excellent story has convinced me that the genre has merit. The author did a spectacular job of capturing the look and feel of life in medieval times by using carefully chosen words. Additionally, he is able to communicate a lot in a short amount of time. Finally, the action sequences are fast and brutal, bringing to life the realities of hand to hand fighting. I definitely would recommend this to fans of medieval fantasy and short stories.

Great, quick

Great, quick, piece of indy fiction. Very enjoyable, and very much in the vain of Mark Lawrence's Grimdark style. Worth the money for a quick read.
