This is a much grittier collection from Nix, and it’s amazingly well done. It feels a bit too much like an episodic series of Saturday morning cartoons where the characters will always save the day, but watching the chaos and destruction that falls around them never gets old.

This narrator has an absolutely stunning vocal range. His Sir H and Mr F come to life perfectly in every line.

Fantastic in every way

I would like more. the stories feel to short and I feel that the author should write more of these amazing characters.

the story is amazing

I never read any of Garth Nix’s YA novels. I pre-ordered this based on the high quality of a few adult stories in recent horror and fantasy anthologies. One of those was a Hereward/Fitz tale: “A Long, Cold Trail”, included in “The Book of Swords”, edited by Gardner Dozois. That story made me hunger for more of the same, and it took a few years for the craving to be satisfied.

This collection will inevitably lead to demands for a novel featuring the knight and his sorcerous puppet. The world they inhabit is a fascinating one; their mission–doing battle with proscribed entities/godlets–seems tailor-made for a series of novels.

I would happily read novel length stories set in this world, featuring these charming characters. But that may not be the author’s intention. The golden age S&S authors he states as influences tended to do their best work in the short form–REH and Fritz Leiber’s famed heroes never appeared in anything but short stories and/or novellas.

So my advice would be to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Enjoyed my time with this fascinating duo

Great story telling

This series of short stories leaves me wanting more and paints vivid scenes of adventure of the mail characters. I do hope there will be more and some more lore .

Lovely

The narrator did a good job of using his voice to distinguish the characters. However by the end I noticed that most of the women sounded very alike.

I would have liked this more if I had read prior books with these characters.

Ever since I first heard the stories of Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz on podcastle. I have been looking for more stories. Thanks for putting them all in one place.

Man and puppet save the world

Refreshing take on a knight errant tale. Sir Hereward is a very human hero, frequently attempting and mostly succeeding at feats of superhuman prowess, bravery and daring that push his body and skills to the limit. Mr. Fitz defies conventional fantasy tropes and and has become one of my all-time favorites mages. The stories contain just the right tone to edge up to the border of parody, but not cross over, (although Rosie made me laugh when she was discovered, and the knife that comes back to...--don't want to spoil) All in service to the safety of the world, no less.

Great Premise, Story and Characters

I didn’t realize it was going to be a series of short stories. I can’t say I’m crazy about that format. I miss the world building and character building that happens in a traditional novel. I had a hard time picturing characters and what was happening in the story.

Not my favorite from Nix

I was so excited to see that Garth Nix had expanded the original collection of three stories. Sir Hereward and Mr Fitz are great characters and their adventures are breezy and delightful.
More please!!!

Great performance, great stories!
