The Jester (A Riyria Chronicles Tale)
Summary
WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A thief, a candlemaker, an ex-mercenary, and a pig farmer walk into a trap…and what happens to them is no joke. When Riyria is hired to retrieve a jester’s treasure, Royce and Hadrian must match wits with a dwarf who proves to be anything but a fool. Difficult choices will need to be made, and in the end those who laugh last do so because they are the only ones to survive.
This is a standalone short story of 7,200 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations or The Riyria Chronicles is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect introduction for new readers or a chance for Riyria veterans to spend a little more time with old friends. The Jester is a story of adventure, bonds of friendship, and a recognition that the choices we make dictates the future we find.

Introduction to Riyria
This was a free download. I have never read anything by Michael Sullivan before so I approached this as an introduction to his other books.
This is a short story about the main characters from the books they are based on with a small group of other people who are trying to resolve the Jesters puzzle. It was a fun and engaging story, but you kinda knew how it would end. As I have never read the other books before, I was a little lost who the main characters were, but that did not distract me away from the story.
While this short story has not put me off his books, it did not demand that I should leap straight to them. The first book (Theft of Swords) is on my to read pile.

The Jester Review.
A short, houmourous and descriptive tale of adventure.
Although I didn't know or have experience of the two main characters the story worked well on its own.

This short story dwarfs all others
Great short story & the narrator was excellent. I had never heard of Michael J Sullivan prior to this beautifully written dark humoured free short story. I will now be purchasing everything I can get my hands on that features Royce & Hadrian!
