Arisa: a world of loss and hardship; of legend and wonder; the world of A Warrior's Path. Return there now with Stories from Arisa, a short story collection featuring four wonderful new fables from that mythic place; each one a polished gem; together, an assemblage spanning the realms of hope, humor, tragedy, loss, and love.
"Received Wisdom"
The Baels of the Eastern Plague have fallen away from Hume's teachings. It is Li-Dirge who finds leadership thrust upon him. He must challenge the SarpanKum and return his brothers to the path of fraternity.
"The Prank"
The House of Fire and Mirrors. The Fort and the Sword. Both are Kumma military academies and fierce rivals in the city of Ashoka. The Wrath is the annual competition between the two schools, deciding bragging rights for the next year, but it is the Prank that dictates who laughs last and longest. This year, it is especially important for Rukh, Keemo, Farn, and Jaresh.
"A Lesson Learned"
Drin Port only wanted a long, tall drink. Many long, tall drinks. When chance brings him the opportunity of a lifetime, will he have the wisdom to take advantage of it?
"The Missing Diamond"
Rector Bryce is called upon to investigate a missing diamond. The thief is not at all who he would have expected.

Most of them are so short that they lack depth, particularly the one featuring Rector Bryce. I wish Ashura had fleshed out one or two stories even a little, rather than including 4 tiny ones. They had promise, and I like the idea of learning a little more about Arisa. My favorite of the 4 was the one about the baels, which did show some depth despite its length.

It's hard to say that this "book" is expensive when I am using audible credits however when one credit can buy me between 15 and 48 Hours of listening it is really difficult to justify one credit for about 1 hour especially when the first story is something that was touched on in the first three books. I was hoping it would give me some sort of background but these are more like skits. like I said I have no problem supporting this author in fact that is how I justify it it to myself. any Series where I am willing to blast through 8 bucks is a good sign and if it takes one credit to stay in that world for one hour longer I am willing to do that.
as interesting and entertaining as this book of skits or short stories are I would have much preferred Davis writing The Book of the First Movement or Book of All Souls. There is a lot that he can do with those two bucks especially if they are in narrative form to provide interesting stories and context to the current characters arcs and motivations.
I do appreciate these short stories but as someone else said they seem like outtakes or things written but not originally included when the book was released or recorded. they would have extended the book however for those of us who like this world that Davis has created it would have been a nice added story.
So to sum things up the writing is as good as all of his books and the performance is amazing as always but this appointment only comes from using one credit for one hour when all of you know one credit can stretch so much further it is hard to justify unless you have read all the books and are waiting for the new one to come out and this is the only way you can get more stories while you wait. I mean even Aleron Kong had Nick read a couple chapters of his upcoming book over Instagram. that free reading to the public was almost as long as this for one credit. it would have done a lot if he had just given this out for free. Who knows if Davis had given it out for free over Audible he might have gotten even more people to listen to his other books because it's a pretty good sample of his writing style.
