A review by czillla
Sunset Mantle by Alter S. Reiss
4.25
Having re-read this novella for the 3rd time, I'm going to go ahead and bump it up to a 5-star rating.
Alter S. Reiss writes in a way that somehow just feels 'right'. Reading this makes me feel as if I truly am peering through the window into another living, breathing world, not simply reading a story.
While on one hand I wish the book was longer, or perhaps followed up by a series, on the other this novella is just perfect. It has a simple, focused plot that says everything that needs to be said and does everything that needs to be done; and that is a rare thing in fantasy works nowadays. The talent of this author is evident by creating such a impactful and moving story in so few words and pages.
This is certainly a rare gem in the genre.
