Karaluvian Fale by Cat Rambo

"Karaluvian Fale" by Cat Rambo -  Fantasy series concludes!

This e-book has 31 pages. It's a single short story. It's Book 3 of 'Women of Zalanthas' series. 

Karaluvian Fale (Kara) is from House of Fale. Financial situation of the house is precarious. Her brother has gambled away everything. 

Lakesander Oash of rival House of Oash doesn't spare an opportunity to show Kara down. Gracchus Kasix, a noble, has shown interest in her indirectly. He requests Kara to assist him organize a festival. 

Will Kara agree? Is Kara the chirpy lady he thinks she is? Can Kara improve her financial situation? Can she escape Lakesander?

Like the first two books, this too is a small book. The tale has to be thus rushed and a lot of things have to be inferred. Author simply doesn't have time and space to create background. 

The story happens in Allanak, a land with red sand and with two moons, set in undefined time and location, an alternative world with exotic names for people, positions and places. This gives a feel of fantasy land and mystic atmosphere.

The plot is simple. It's about Kara and her intelligence. Will she be able to keep the appearances or will she be destroyed and shamed? The book ends but the story doesn't end. The challenge is not over. However, there is no 4th book in this series. 

Why did I read this book? Quick read. Have read the first two. 

What I didn't like? Length. 

What did I like? The end.

Read of you don't mind quirky tales.
