Widderkin

As is often the case with great stories, I found myself upset and craving more when I reached the end of Widderkin. The author created such a marvelous cast of characters and intriguing events that another 52 chapters would have been welcome. Alas, that's not going to happen any time soon, even though I am hopeful an update on the MCs will appear one of these days.

Until then, I'd like to recommend you read the story because you will enjoy it.

In other stories of his, Palantir has shown an affinity--a love--for his Australia, it's flora and fauna; and a respect bordering on reverence for First Australians and their heritage. Although Widderkin takes place mostly in a fantasy land, the references and comparisons to Aussie plants and animals is still there. Readers may have trouble not falling in love with the old continent. All those details enhance the pleasure of reading about fantastical creatures, elves, magical stones, and the challenges five stranded friends must face while trying to find a way back home to Earth.

Once again, I strongly recommend Widderkin but suggest you keep a Strayan slang dictionary handy.
