Short Stories

Though alright reading/listening, not my preference. This book is a bunch of disjointed and unrelated short stories. Stories written mostly concerning the asian or Mongolian culture, though different from other books I have read/listen to not to my Personal liking.

A very entertaining series of short stories.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from The Chronicles of Maradoum, but I’m very glad I took the chance to listen to this collection of tales from Maradoum. Each of these short tales is a complete story and I found all of them to be very entertaining. Additionally, I really enjoyed Joseph Turner’s narration, his various voices for the variety of characters really made the story come alive. I’m looking forward to listening to Volume 2 of this series.
