5.0

I've been a fan of Alex Bledsoe since reading Wake of the Bloody Angel - Eddie Lacrosse #4, in 2011. Starting in the middle of a series isn't always the best idea, but it didn't matter in that series.
Mr. Bledsoe released a book of short stories that are sort of the beginnings and durings of several of his series and I knew I had to have it, especially since it was on Audible. I'll be doing reviews of each of the short stories as I find them on Goodreads as, apparently, the actual collection, Give Them What They Want, isn't on here as yet.
I was so very happy that the collection began with one of my favorite book boyfriends, Eddie LaCrosse, sword jockey for hire. This particular story is gut-wrenching and I'm glad Eddie took it on to take care of.
I can absolutely recommend this set of short stories, the audiobook Give Them What They Want and Other Stories of Sharp Wit, Cunning Women, and Wild Magic, and absolutely definitely, the author, Alex Bledsoe.

Very straightforward fantasy story. Nothing amazing, but quite enjoyable.
