Wild Diplomacy: A Light-Hearted Fantasy Adventure (Stories from The Three Kingdoms) by D.G. Redd ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Genre: Fantasy Novellette. Foress is a gnoll. She has long incisors, blood red eyes, piebald fur and tail, and an operatic singing voice. Other than that, she resembles the dogs humans keep as pets, but she’s not like them at all. She has thumbs, and she’s also an experienced diplomat and mediator between forest people such as orcs, kobolds, and goblins. She’s determined to open diplomatic relations with city-folk, but then she’s caught in a human trap and taken to the Queen for the bounty. Can Foress establish a mutual base of respect without city-folk resorting to their usual treatment of forest tribes? Author Redd created a wonderfully diverse world for Foress. He writes her as a true believer in good, no matter the circumstance. Redd’s novelette reminds us to try kindness and respect first. In the end, this is a First Contact novelette. Humans may kill gnolls, and gnolls may eat humans, but neither species really knows anything about the other. I found it delightfully uplifting, and it’s 5 stars from me🌵📚💁🏼‍♀️ Thank you to LibraryThing and D.G. Redd for this ecopy.… (mehr)
