Village Fool by 'Nathan Burgoine
4.0
Continuing to binge on Christmas books between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Handmade Holidays was always a favorite so I’m trying to get the entire Little Village series in this year.
This was a short one. One of the biggest pet peeves I have in reading is when a character’s tone or behavior is not acknowledged by the other characters, such as someone spoiled being treated as selfless and nobody, including the author sees it. That didn’t happen here.
This is the story of a practical joke that ends up causing damage that heals into progress, and it’s clearly setup for the character in his own book, which I’ll get to shortly. Given the shortness of the read, it’s not so much a Christmas book as it is someone correctly responding to a terrible joke. Still, very solid as usual from this author.
