As it Seems by Eric Lewis is an exceptionally well written book, full of suspenseful short stories. I got myself out of my comfort zone again: A few stories in this are much darker than I usually read. If you’re a fan of grimdark fantasy, you’ll love this. If, like me, you’re a more delicate sort, maybe pass over the first story. Other than the really dark moment or two, there is nothing bad about this. It keeps you turning pages, it gives you interesting characters, several of them show up over and over in different stories. This makes me want to know more about the world of Vril, which I assume I will learn in the author’s book The Heron Kings.
If you like low fantasy, dark fantasy, and especially grimdark fantasy, hurry up and download As It Seems. You won’t be disappointed.
