The errant wars

Friday, December 23rd, 2005 | Personal

The dwarves are dead, the elves have isolated themselves from the world, the half-elves and the elves have battled for millennia, the humans have forgotten all but the fear of the elves. In a world of high magic, theocracies, supernatural assassins and ancient feuds we find Michael Poe’s Errant Story.

The errant story tells the story of a young girl Meji who is abnormally lazy and is about to fail her magic studies because she does not pay attention in classes. Fortunately there is an old clause in the school rules that if you manage to blow up the school and all the teachers you pass with honours. So what’s a young girl to do? Well, sipphon off the power of a deity and blow the hell out of the teachers. Sounds like a bad plot out of Hollywood? You wouldn’t be far off. However, despite the shallow initial plot the story and characters actually grow on you as you make your way through the archives.

My judgement? Absolutely recommendable for a nice afternoon of magical stories.
