A fun satire of an old classic

This is a fun satire of the Charles Dickens classic 'A Christmas Carol' ... just with the economical twist that the Dark Profit saga is famed for.

This short features two of the characters from the Dark Profit saga who, despite being quite central to the series take somewhat of a backseat overall. Fenrir Goldson and Bolbi Baggs, a dwarf and halfing business duo who run the most successful banking house (Goldson and Baggs) in all of Arth

It's a fun little romp through an old classic with bags of humour thrown in. So far I have enjoyed everything I've read/listened to from the universe of the Dark Profit saga and look forward to more going forward.

I also like the fact that, just by knowing what happens in a Christmas Carol you can't be overly certain that the same will play out in this due to the nature of the two main characters ... they actually make Scrooge seem like a decent chap.

All good things aside, I did kind of feel a tad flat at the ending but it was only a minor downside for me. Still a very enjoyable read/listen.

This can be enjoyed as a stand alone but, in my opinion, you'd be mad not to try to the novels (Orconomics and Son of a Liche). As ever, Doug Tisdale Junior's narration was perfect. This man was born to narrate the goings on in Arth.
