Synopsis

When life gave Fenrir Goldson a second chance, he asked for a gift receipt.Mr. Goldson is filthy rich. He’s also callous and cruel and hasn’t got a festive bone in his ancient body. Naturally, he’s due for a holiday haunting.When his business partner, Bolbi Baggs, announces that they’re to be visited by three spirits, Mr. Goldson braces himself for a whirlwind tour of his past, present, and future.Typically, a trio of time-traveling ghosts heralds a heartwarming tale of hope and redemption for the human race. Mr. Goldson, however, isn’t a member of the human race. He’s a Dwarf, and Mr. Baggs is a Halfling, and the adventure that’s about to take them across the enchanted world of Arth is anything but typical.Holiday magic and economic realities collide in A Song of Three Spirits. It’s A Christmas Carol for the 21st century, with a dash of high fantasy. Listen to this hilarious satire of Charles Dickens’s classic today!

Will this be a solid read for someone not already into the stories of Arth? Probably, but read Orconomics first. I think that one does a better job of building the world these stories take place in. Then again...I wonder if not knowing Goldson and Baggs going in will make some of the twists and turns......more

Goodreads review by Swords & Spectres on October 30, 2020

This is a fun satire of the Charles Dickens classic 'A Christmas Carol' ... just with the economical twist that the Dark Profit saga is famed for. This short features two of the characters from the Dark Profit saga who, despite being quite central to the series take somewhat of a backseat overall. Fe......more

Goodreads review by Andre on December 26, 2020

Apesar de ser fantasia, essa releitura de "Um Conto de Natal" do Charles Dickens é a história mais real, cínica e deliciosa sobre essa comemoração anual que eu já li. Os personagens, Mr. Goldson e Bolbi Baggis, são os seres mais desprezíveis e focados em lucros e resultados que eu já vi, mas ao mesm......more
