Summary
WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A thief, a candlemaker, an ex-mercenary, and a pig farmer walk into a trap…and what happens to them is no joke. When Riyria is hired to retrieve a jester’s treasure, Royce and Hadrian must match wits with a dwarf who proves to be anything but a fool. Difficult choices will need to be made, and in the end those who laugh last do so because they are the only ones to survive.
This is a standalone short story of 7,200 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations or The Riyria Chronicles is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect introduction for new readers or a chance for Riyria veterans to spend a little more time with old friends. The Jester is a story of adventure, bonds of friendship, and a recognition that the choices we make dictates the future we find.

Introduction to Riyria
This was a free download. I have never read anything by Michael Sullivan before so I approached this as an introduction to his other books.
This is a short story about the main characters from the books they are based on with a small group of other people who are trying to resolve the Jesters puzzle. It was a fun and engaging story, but you kinda knew how it would end. As I have never read the other books before, I was a little lost who the main characters were, but that did not distract me away from the story.
While this short story has not put me off his books, it did not demand that I should leap straight to them. The first book (Theft of Swords) is on my to read pile.

The Jester Review.
A short, houmourous and descriptive tale of adventure.
Although I didn't know or have experience of the two main characters the story worked well on its own.

Played by a fool
The Narrative was excellent, and very pleasant to listen too.
Though Michael Sullivan introduced his short story.
I quickly had understanding of the main characters. However, I kept tripping up over own questions, that kept popping into my head whilst listening.
I was left thinking, how did they get there? What happen prior to the opening scene which finds then falling fast and furious nursing injuries. Indeed Aidrian's injuries sound very much like he'd upset a Dragon.
Yet the Pig Farmer was injuried by a single arrow to his side, A Dragon doesn't have need for a bow and arrows. I was left with more questions than answers.
I understood the Jesters test, and had already grasped the fact that only a fool would pull the lever, (as another name for a Jester is a fool.) even though I'd guessed the ending. It didn't distract me from listening to the full dialogue.
It's a sweet story that covers morality and life saving decisions.
It makes you want to know more about the main characters, the story being long enough to peak my curiosity.

Very Good!
I really enjoyed this audio book! It's the first one I've listened to but couldn't turn it off. The time just flew by listening to this! It made me want to hear more by Michael J Sullivan so I've downloaded another of his titles :) hope others enjoy it as much as I did!
