Poof!

LORD OF THE DOLOROUS TOWER by Matthew W. Quinn is a short story about two villagers seeking an adventure. I'm assuming the story takes place in another world, but I thought it possible Quinn created a dystopian setting thousands of years into the future.

Most of the story is told through dialogue and inner thoughts, with very little action. I did enjoy the inclusion of magic, giving a fantasy element, but the ending is abrupt. Quinn leaves readers with all kinds of questions.

I think the author should consider turning this short into a novella to add more action, as well as further character development.

As always,
