Matthew's Journal

This is a story told in the second person - you are Torquell, a young man who is six foot tall. That's tall for a human, but much smaller than an ogre. And ogres are the Masters for whom humans must toil, as that is the natural order of things.

This is an excellent story, which deals with class, power, race, and the hero's journey. If it's bleak at times, there's plenty of humour, and the plot is carefully constructed and compelling. While I often complain that writers don't quite manage to stick the landing, I felt the ending here is very well done. Highly recommended.
