The Christmas Hirelings

Ugh...I'm glad this was free. Usually, the Audible annual Christmas gift book is a delight. And, judging by the overwhelming majority of positive reviews I must be the exception here. That being said I don't have to like this story.

I thought it was entirely predictable. Boring and mercifully short. I read older stories like this often. So my issue had nothing at all to do with the language or anachronistic setting.

The one thing deserving of praise was the way the author depicted the thing I can't talk about for fear of spoilers. But it actually succeeded in making me sad. That was nice hahaha.
