Actual Rating: 3.8 StarsBrief but adorable and entertaining, The Mage and the Freckled Frog provides a taste of fantasy for those who just want a whiff of the possibilities of the genre.Being that this story was so short, I did not feel as much of a connection to the characters as I wanted to/expected (although, that is usually my problem with shorter stories and novellas; I tend to expect certain things because I am so accustomed to reading novels).I would definitely recommend this to anyone wh
Wonderful entertaining listening 🎶🔰Another will written fantasy Sci-Fi adventure thriller short story by Craig A. Price Jr. about an apprentice mage and his frog. Both are learning magic while having an adventure. I would recommend this novella to anyone looking for a quick fun read. Enjoy the adventure of reading 👓 or listening 🎶 to Alexa as I do because of health issues. 2022 😮⏰
A great introduction to Drezzyk. Apparently abandoned by his former master, Drezzyk sets out to find employment in a foreign city. Unfortunately, magic is forbidden in that city. So he and his freckled, red frog must escape. But, as he flees, the surrounding village is set upon by a crowd of villains. A cute, short tale worth reading.Action-packed. Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Inspirational. Scary. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.
