I listened to this on LeVar Burton Reads podcast. It was long enough to require two parts, built still counts as short fiction.
Traditionally Wizard Timmon would be the protagonist/narrator, so it was quite fun to hear from the Thief Jayn what it's like to be a pawn in the powerful's game.
Not to say he's not good at what he does, but he is a bit dense when it comes to understanding the whims of wizards.
A bite sized adventure with a grand moral to be told.

A fairly solid compendium of short fantasy stories. I didn’t find myself taking down authors names and scurrying to see what else they had written, which is how I knew this wasn’t a 5 star but there’s still lots to enjoy. Any compilation that features Peter S. Beagle’s short story Two Hearts is worth checking out for that one alone.

Well, I was not terribly excited by the first few stories and admit that I skipped a couple. BUT THEN!!!!!!!!!! This is perhaps one of the best books ever. I'm almost done, and when I am, I will update this review by adding the titles of the most favourite stories of mine.

Really enjoyable short story heard on Levar Reads. Held my attention the entire time and the message was wonderful and heartwarming. Highly recommend.

This book/short story was told during episodes 3 & 4 of 'LaVar Burton Reads.' I really enjoyed this particular story for several reasons. I liked that it took place in a fantasy world with wizards and such, but magic wasn't the driving force of the plot, and also because the story didn't have the ending I expected.
